BYTE Editor Cuts through Highway Hype

You've heard the hype: on-ramps, road kill, cyberspace, info-warriors,
virtual frontiers, electronic village, intelligent agents, infotainment .
. . and although everyone is talking about the information superhighway,
few people really understand what it is and how it will change the world.
In Inside the Information Superhighway Revolution, an engaging new book
from The Coriolis Group, noted author and BYTE Magazine editor Nick Raran
cuts through the hype and explains what the information highway is all
about and how it is being created, bit by byte.

From business to education to entertainment, Inside the Information
Superhighway Revolution shows readers how to take advantage of the coming
global communications revolution, discussing the technology as well as the
social and political issues. This hard-hitting book takes a look at
today's global networks, including the Internet, and exposes their
strengths and weaknesses, giving an in-depth discussion of the technology
on which the information highway will be based. It takes a critical look
at the media hype surrounding the highway and shows where public
perception falls wide of the mark.

Acclaimed technology author Nick Baran, known by thousands for his
provocative viewpoints on the information highway, gives the reader a
glimpse into the human forces driving the evolution of the highway: the
government, high-tech industries, and the people who will use the highway.
He answers these crucial questions:

* Who will control the new electronic frontier?
* How much will it cost to build the information highway, and who will
  have to pay for it?
* How will the information highway change the way we educate?
* Can the Internet evolve to become the highway of the future?

And don't miss the foreword by Jeff Duntemann, best-selling author and PC
TECHNIQUES editor in chief, as he takes a visionary look into the future
of the. Says Coriolis Group President, Keith Weiskamp, "This isn't just
another book with 'information highway' in the title. Inside the
Information Superhighway Revolution deals with the important issues--the
ones that are going to affect us all."

You may think it's still too early to worry about the information
superhighway, but those who know and understand the highway now will be
the ones who benefit most from the transformation it will impose upon our
world.
