Negative Positive
Title: Naive, simple-minded and utopic...
Review: This kind of book is likely to lead the reader in wrong and simplistic insights of what is going on. Yet the beginning offers a relevant overview of the evolution of communications, that is, the Telephone, the Television and the Internet. Consequently man can quite well understand that these three medias will merge in the future and that information will really overwelhm the customer. Nevertheless Frances Cairncross loses her relevance as soon as she tries dramatically to convince the reader of an happy end, a "global peace", where most people are freed from policy. But she does not speak about the power of money, the deep consequences of theses big corporations that she only touches on.
Is the review positive or negative?
