Description

Introducing Investigating the Information Society, a lively and engaging text that explores the major debates and data on the information society. This book introduces students to the key concepts and research methodologies in this field, providing an overview of theorists such as Manuel Castells and Daniel Bell. Through case-studies, activities, and questions for discussion, you'll gain insight into 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. By exploring these topics, you'll learn how to research and evaluate social science arguments. With a rich body of empirical work as its foundation, Investigating the Information Society offers a comprehensive introduction to the practicalities of doing social research and understanding social science argument.
