Compte rendu existant : WILSON, T.D., « The author’s central proposition is that humankind has experienced three stages of development, which he labels, prehistory - the period before the invention of writing; history - all that has happened since that invention; and ‘hyperhistory’ - upon which we have only recently entered, and defined by the author as the situation in which: « human progress and welfare [have] begun to be not just related to, but mostly dependent on, the successful and efficient management of the life cycle of information. » (…) The rest of the book, essentially, is about how third-order technology and information technology in general is reshaping, as the sub-title has it, human reality. This is accomplished through eight chapters dealing with identity, self-understanding, privacy, intelligence, agency, politics, environment and, very briefly, ethics. », trouvé sur
