Product Information
This text takes a close look at how such familiar and pervasive productions of computing as voice mail, bar codes, laptops and the Web have become embedded in all our lives forcing us to narrow the scope of our choices, our modes of control and our experiences with the real world. Drawing on narratives from fields that range from military command, air traffic control and international fund transfers to library cataloguing and supermarket checkouts, the book shows that we are rapidly making irreversible, and at times, harmful changes in our business, social and personal lives to comply with the formalities and restrictions of information systems. The threat is not the direct one once framed by the idea of insane robots or runaway mainframes usurping human functions for their own purposes, but rather the gradual loss of control over hardware, software and function through networks of interconnection and dependence. What Rochlin calls the computer trap has four parts: the lure, the snare, the costs and the long-term consequences. The lure is obvious: the promise of ever-more powerful and adaptable tools with simpler and more human-centred interfaces.The snare is what usually ensues -

[Rochlin's] straightforward argument should be apparent to those managing and promoting increasing computerization: that greater dependence on computers implies greater disaster when they fail. . . . Rochlin ends with an exploration of the new cyberized military and continues to pinpoint the unintended consequences that computer enthusiasts rarely think about, but should. -- Booklist, "In Trapped in the Net , an insightful and painstakingly documented book, [Rochlin] explores the changes already wrought by computers and networking in areas as diverse as financial markets, air travel, nuclear power plants, corporate management and the military."-- Lawrence Hunter, The New York Times Book Review, In Trapped in the Net , an insightful and painstakingly documented book, [Rochlin] explores the changes already wrought by computers and networking in areas as diverse as financial markets, air travel, nuclear power plants, corporate management and the military., Trapped in the Net covers not only the military, but also financial markets, aviation and business. In all cases, humans working inside organizations become helpless just when the systems they use encounter the unexpected and start behaving idiotically. This is a fascinating and well-argued book. . . . The references are good, and certainly prove that Rochlin is not a lone voice with a cynical message., Winner of the 1999 Don K. Price Award, Science, Technology and Environmental Politics Section of the American Political Science Association, Winner of the 1999 Don K. Price Award, Science, Technology and Environmental Politics Section of the American Political Science Association One of Choice 's Outstanding Academic Titles for 1997, ". . . computerization is leading us into pretty dire straits. In financial markets, warp-speed automated trading creates opportunities for fraud and moves us further away from a stable investment climate. In the office, computers promise efficiency, but bring fragmented knowledge and reduced autonomy to workers. There's worse news. Pilots in the 'glass cockpits' of modern airplanes have too much data to interpret, and nuclear power plant operators are less likely to have an intuitive feel for things going wrong 'on the floor'. Most sobering of all is the discussion of automation and the military."-- Publishers Weekly, InTrapped in the Net, an insightful and painstakingly documented book, [Rochlin] explores the changes already wrought by computers and networking in areas as diverse as financial markets, air travel, nuclear power plants, corporate management and the military. -- Lawrence Hunter, The New York Times Book Review, " Trapped in the Net covers not only the military, but also financial markets, aviation and business.

I am really excited to be able to collect this Die-cast model as it is no longer in production. The item was listed as used and to the seller's credit, pictures of the toy vehicles' condition were provided presenting the car's condition clearly so that anybody purchasing it would not be unpleasantly surprised by anything about it associated with previous use. Good customer to product communication and I am extremely pleased with the shipping time of the product as well as the product itself.
