Summary: Out of date, and disappointing
Review: This was probably an interesting book when it was published, a generation ago, in 1995. Since then, so much has changed, that Tapscott's theses are either proven or forgotten. Sure, some of them still have a chance of happening, and some of his observations about business in general are interesting and valid, but too much has changed since then. If he wrote the book today, I'm sure he would approach vastly different subjects.There is a gee-whiz character in the book that is a bit irksome. In some parts, it reads like Popular Science in the 1930s - this awe of new technologies, many of which never made it past the drawing board, that propels him into elegies of modernism (like the high-school kid with his own home page - back then that might have been revolutionary...). One thing bothers me a bit: there is a constant, yet subtle, advertising for his consulting company and workshops running through the book. It almost seems that the book is an ad for the higher-cost training sessions that he runs. All the diagrams and tables are copyright New Paradigm Learning Corporation, whereas, technically, you don't copyright data in this manner. This makes me uncomfortable, and it looks like the author is just trying to constantly remind you that his makes his real money elsewhere.

Summary: A classical example of instant book
Review: Though it has been written few years ago, that is a standard example of a book who has become obsolete yet at its publication. It could be useful for those people, professionals and consultants, who need to develop a common "management" language, in order to use it in meeting and convention. In other words, it could be useful to Dilbert's boss or CEO. To other people, now it could have mainly a historical interest.
