Summary: A technician's view.
Review: For the last four years I have been concentrating on the technical aspects of Web development. This book provided me with the background and business perpective I was missing so I can relate the work I've done to the larger framework of e-business. I would highly recommend this book.

Summary: A weekend read
Review: Web Vision is not primarily a book about the Internet, the Web, e-business, or e-commerce; it is a vision of how these technologies will take society forward. The Internet is more than thirty years old and its technology is poised to enable society to take off in new directions. The book, Web Vision, explores these directions in logical and insightful ways. As one author put it, firms are beginning to realize that the real action in the web is yet to happen and is in digital space. The book is a good resource for those that want to develop strategies to position themselves or their organization to take advantage of these new opportunities. The book is well thought out, well reasoned, and well presented; consequently it is easy to read and follow. The ideas presented are done in a straightforward non-technical non-threatening manner. The author uses his twenty-plus years of experience to provide pleasant compelling examples of how and why this "new" technology will impact us. I found the chapters addressing work and virtual society to be particularly interesting. The author explores how cyber space can be used to create virtual offices, virtual meeting places, and virtual commuting, thereby providing a driving force in the next generation of work and play. The idea that technology can be used to help society's problems is well presented and appealing.
