Drawing on a rich body of empirical work, it explores three core themes of information society debates: the transformation of culture through the information revolution, changing patterns of work and employment and the reconfiguration of time and space in everyday life. In exploring these, the reader is introduced through case studies, activities and questions for discussion, to the practicalities of doing social research and the nature of social science argument and understanding.
