Necessary Illusions: A Critical Introduction to the Information Age
by Thomas Eland. An informative course outline (with links).
Why is there a disconnect between the utopian promises of the Information Age
and the reality of many stressed out,over stimulated, and under paid people?
This course argues that the utopian hype is a necessary illusion created
by andfor the global corporate elite to hide the fact that much of the Information Age
agenda undermines the public's democraticrights and civic culture. -
