Description

The author offers a unique way of looking at information. Through the representations of information, we make sense of its meaning. These representations come from experiences we have, for example, with information products or records, ICTs and information services. A framework in the shape of an information circuit identifies the representation, production, regulation and consumption of information products and services. Articulation between these elements of the information circuit reveals the nature and difficulties of information discourse. The book brings a much-needed balance into debates on the status and place of information in our time. - from Amzon
