Overview

Are you prepared? To worship on the Web? Vote on the Web? Even have sex on the Web? For better or worse, the Internet is changing the everyday routines of life. In the tradition of Studs Terkel's Working, the author presents a series of candid interviews and vignettes with celebrities and common folk that tells the story of how real people are using the Internet in innovative ways. From people like Steve Jobs (one of the pioneers of the computer revolution), to New York's Governor Pataki (who strives to correct the digital divide), to Louise Kohl Leahy, a former urbanite, who has taken her computer to the outbacks of Texas to make a living, The Human Web is a story of all of these worlds. It's a book that's relevant for everyone - from housewives to business people. After all, it's our future we're talking about!
