Product Information
From John Naisbitt, the preeminent social forecaster of our time and the author of the #1New York TimesbestsellerMegatrends, a remarkable examination of the role technology plays in our accelerated search for meaning. With American culture now being increasingly broadcast through technology--from TV and movies to music to the Internet and electronic games--we are living in what John Naisbitt calls the Technologically Intoxicated Zone. This zone is a confusing and distracted state where we both fear and worship technology, where we see technologies as toys and quick-fixes, and where we become obsessed with what is "real" and what is "fake"--from the violent games children play to genetically-engineered animals to whether one can claim to have scaled Everest if supplemental oxygen was used. It is technology's saturation of American society--with its fabulous innovations and its devastating consequences--that John Naisbitt and his coauthors Nana Naisbitt and Douglas Philips explore in this important and timely book. By conciously examining our relationship with technology as consumers of products, media, and emerging genetic technologies, we can learn to become aware of the impact technology will have on our daily lives, our children, our religiosity, our arts, and our humanness.High Tech/High Touchis a cautionary tale that shows us how to make the most of technology's benefits while minimizing its detrimental effects on our culture. In a compelling tour of our technological immersion as we work and play and search for a spiritual path, Naisbitt tackles complex questions: Does technology free us from constraints of the physical world, or does it tie us down to our machines? Does it save us time in our day-to-day lives, or does it merely create a void we feel compelled to fill with even more tasks and responsibilities? What about advances in biotechnology? Recent developments in genetic engineering now raise the possibility of a future that will someday be free of the birth defects, disabilities, and diseases that mark our lives today. But in an age where such things are possible, what is natural and what is artificial? And when people can be created in the laboratory as easily as in the womb, what, then, does it truly mean to be human? Moving from the information and machine technologies of computers, the Internet, and telecommunications to the genetic technologies that are transforming biological science and art,High Tech/High Touchreveals the emerging power we have over our destinies--and the need for a moral compass to guide us. An ideal book to usher in a century in which these issues will become even more timely,High Tech/High Touchdeftly explores the world we are creating and the world that is to come.

Reviews
Praise forHigh Tech/High Touch: "High Tech/High Touchis an 'a-ha' book of the first order. John Naisbitt, Nana Naisbitt, and Douglas Philips provide valuable insight into important technological, social, cultural, and artistic developments, which, while happening right under our noses, are blurred by an ever-accelerating world of our own creation." --Carl Goodman, Curator of Digital Media at the American Museum of the Moving Image "John Naisbitt, Nana Naisbitt, and Douglas Philips's take on artists' responses to technology is insightful and precise. Not only have they pinpointed some of the most innovative artists working today, but their understanding of their work is completely original. A refreshing change of pace from most discussions about art." --Dan Cameron, Senior Curator, New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York City "This is an important and troubling book. Naisbitt and his co-authors have described in powerful detail the dark side of technology and its impact on our lives in the twenty-first century." --Stephen Rhinesmith, author ofA Manager's Guide to Globalization Megatrends: "In such turbulent times, we prize those among us who see clearly. John Naisbitt offers a dramatic, convincing view on the changes already under way. This is a book for everyone who wants a sense of the near future." --Marilyn Ferguson, author ofThe Aquarian Conspiracy Megatrends 2000: "Thought-provoking . . . most persuasive . . . will carry us into the twenty-first century." --Business Week "A magnificent journey into the future for America and mankind." --Jack Kemp
