New Book on the Social Impact of Information Technologies

The UP Open University has recently published a new book on the social impact of informatization titled Developing Societies in the Information Age: A Critical Perspective. Written by Dr. Alexander Flor, Professor of Information and Communication Studies, the book argues against the World is Flat hypothesis of Thomas Friedman. The book provides a theoretical framework for a critical perspective on information societies and their impact on developing countries. It is based on the author’s research study, The Information Rich and the Information Poor: Two faces of the Information Age in a Developing Country.
