Description

In a world shaped by rapid technological change, there is a clear need for a systematic and rigorous normative theory of the information society. This book by Duff provides a prescriptive framework to guide academic and policy communities as they debate the future of emerging post-industrial, information-based societies. Duff argues that information policy must be anchored in a left-liberal philosophy. This approach focuses on a feasible permutation of the core ideals of freedom, equality, and brotherhood. Rather than allowing the information society to be shaped by chance, this work provides the theoretical foundation needed to ensure these societies are worth having. This title is part of the Routledge Research in Information Technology and Society series, making it an essential resource for those studying the social, legal, and political implications of our digital age. It offers deep insights for researchers and policymakers looking to understand the structural needs of modern information-based social systems.
