The Law od Unintended Consequences in one book! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Technology has definatly had a an amazing effect on society worldwide. It's been shocking to watch the advancest of computers within my lifetime, I remember how computers were when computers enterded the homemarket, then the work place , etc,,, it hasn't all been for the better as we've learned. In these chaotic times, Ms Katutani has managed to corral all the various uprisings, wars, disease, elections, computers and other issues societies are facing to show how they have changed societies in the past. Scary days are ahead, I'm sure. The book leans heavily toward Democrates in politics, but still worth a read by anyone who wants to read about how this all may affect us in the future.
