Editorial Review:

People all over the world, and the U.S. in particular, are struggling with the enormous business, social, and political implications of the digital age. Those in the technology vanguard want to retain the purity and frontier spirit of cyberspace, while business leaders and entrepreneurs are trying to harness its economic power. Many of us think of the internet as simply a tool for electronic mail, while others see it as a new medium that primarily affects their children. Some worry about threats to their own privacy; others are concerned that criminals may use the new technology to outwit law enforcement. And yet others wonder how requirements for electronic literacy and access to information may affect the gap between haves and have-nots. Many people have discussed the future of the digital age at great length, but, until now, no one has explored the opportunities and trade-offs individuals and governments will face as society moves more fully into the information age. In Release 2.0, Esther Dyson draws on her years of experience analyzing and shaping the computer world as we know it--both in the U.S. and in Eastern and Western Europe--and her close-up knowledge of industry pioneers, business leaders, national policy makers, and local; innovators and activists to explain how this new world works and lay out the possibilities for the future that depend on the choices we make. These choices include privacy, openness, trust, accountability, ownership of ideas and content, access to opportunity, and education. Filled with examples, stories, and Dyson's trademark wit, this will be on of the most talked about audiobooks of 1997.

Stealing Your Life - FWA 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I enjoy security books by Abagnale and this is no different. There are people that will say that this material should not be published as so many crooks will copy the techniques. The crooks already know these techniques and a crook using old techniques will get caught sooner than later. Frank discusses both the holes in the system as well as a variety of ways you can plug them (if you are vulnerable). It is the innocents that do not realize the danger they put themselves into on a daily basis that need, really need, to read (listen to) this book. I believe that everyone could benefit by reading this book (even if you work in this field).

Editorial Review:

Brimming with anecdotes of creative criminality that are as entertaining as they are enlightening, Stealing Your Life is the practical way to shield yourself from one of today's most nefarious and common crimes.

Editorial Review:

The Fault Line - that dangerous, unstable seam in the economy where the Internet and other powerful innovations meet and create market-shattering tremors. Every company lives on it; no manager can control it. Everyone must learn to deal with it.

Now, Geoffrey Moore, author of The Gorilla Game and Inside the Tornado, two bestselling works that helped guide the high-tech revolution, explores the new management paradigms that will guide business in the 21st century, showing them how to survive and thrive on the fault line.

Moore turns his attention to the most important question for business in the early 21st century: How can companies that rose to prominence prior to the age of the Internet manage for shareholder value now that the Internet is upon us? The old management truths are dead. The dot.coms are overturning established relationships, reengineering markets, and attacking long-standing institutions. What should management do when it is under direct assault from companies no one had ever heard of even a few years ago? He prescribes a new agenda for management teams that include:

• New strategies for achieving and sustaining competitive advantage
• New metrics to keep management teams on course with these strategies
• A specific blueprint for how the blue chip companies can meet the challenge of the dot.coms
• Models of organizational change for each stage of market development
• The crucial role of declaring a culture to enable swift response to global change

In Living on the Fault Line, Moore once again offers a brilliant set of navigational tools to help meet today's defining management challenge - managing for shareholder value in the Age of the Internet.

Editorial Review:

"...home from Central Park, he is quickly introduced to a vibrant world beyond his own secluded sewer pipe. But this wider rat world, Montague learns, is threatened with extermination. And much as he longs to help his fellow rats---and win Isabel's paw---what can he, small and alone and outcast, possibly do? "Tor Seidler has created a rat to stand alongside Stuart Little." ---The New York Times Book Review [from case]

Editorial Review:

The Conquering Computer Fear Audio Workshop is the first place to start if you want to learn about computers. The truth is, computers can be annoying, frustrating, intimidating pains in the behind. But they can be useful once you learn to accept them for what they are—and what they aren’t. The Conquering Computer Fear Audio Workshop helps people get over the fear, fight the nervousness and obtain the right attitude to take advantage of today’s technology.

The included workbook helps organize and review the information in the seminar, and helps you make your "plan of attack."

The Conquering Computer Fear Audio Workshop is also available on audio CD with workbook.
