REVIEW: LIVING AT LIGHT SPEED, Danny Goodman, Random House 1994 LIVING AT LIGHT SPEED is a no-nonsense attempt to de-mystify some of the new technologiocal developments that have become commonplace in today's high-tech society. Although its focused on computer networking and communications, it covers pagers, cellular telephones, FAX machines and cable televison - all recent developments that have such impact on our lives in the 1990s. Goodman's approach to this is very level-headed and he's been around enough to know of what he writes - he's been explaining high-tech to readers in more than 20 books and numerous articles. He seems to enjoy debuking myths - of which there are many about the so-called "Information Superhighway" that are numerous. LIVING AT LIGHT SPEED is indeed a survival guide. It won't teach you how to master the Internet, program and use a cellular telephone or VCR, but it will help you understand what they can do and what their limitations are. I found LIVING AT LIGHT SPEED very interesting and informative to read as a fine sociological and philosophical view of today's technological society with special emphasis on telecommunications. In my opinion, every public library should have a copy. %T Living at Light Speed %A Danny Goodman %I Random House %C New York, New York %D 1994 %O $21.00 hardbound %G ISBN: 0-679-43934-X %P 244 pp %K Computer networking, Internet (C) 1995 Michael Crestohl Nahant Massachusetts USA mc@shore.net DISCLAIMER: I have no interest, financial or otherwise, in the success or failure of the book or materials reviewed herewith, nor have I received any compensation (other than a review copy requested by me) from anyone who has.
