Review
- Ugur Gokay Ortasoz(University of Lille) said "In this empirical work Darrell West informs the reader in a comprehensive manner about the policies and usage of information technology, and he shows how to handle difficulties while still innovating systems for use in both the public and private sectors."[1]
- Ugur Gokay Ortasoz(University of Lille) also said "This book will provide policymakers and business leaders with pragmatic evidence that digital technology can promote not only economic efficiency but also social and political innovation throughout society."[2]
- Kevin Estering(Professor of political science at the University of California, Berkeley) says "An interesting look at the technologies of cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing, ultrafast broadband, electronics, and digital media. However, the value of the book lies in the evaluation and proposal of institutional and organizational factors that hinder the introduction of technologies needed for social and political transformation rather than this in-depth investigation. I am sure it will be a book that will help improve government policy and improve social development."[3]
- Beth Simon (Professor of New York University School of Law) says "How technology innovation can reduce costs and improve the quality of life, and consequently improve the quality of our lives by transforming technology and government policies. As a social scientist who does not hesitate to criticize various constraints in the public sector, we provide ourselves with the concrete roadmap needed to transform ourselves and our organization."[4]
- Times Higher Education(THE) offers "This revolution, West's next wave, may or may not crash upon our shores. As is the case with all futurology, we must wait and see. Whatever the future holds, this book offers a fascinating window on our possible digital future."[5]
