Summary: The World Wired Up attempts to puncture the hot air balloon surrounding the new systems of communication -satellite broadcasting, cable television, and “informatics”. Assessing developments across the globe, from America to Japan, from the Third World to Britain, it charts the growth of this new communications technology. This book explains how things look to the people inside, and outside, the multinational corporations who are developing and exploiting it; how governments and international agencies are attempting to regulate it and what all this will mean for the ordinary citizen of the “wired-up” world.
