Knowledge Societies: IT for Sustainable Development

Mansell, R. & U. Wehn, (eds) (1998) Knowledge Societies: Information Technology for Sustainable Development.

This book “argues that although the costs of building ICT infrastructure in the developing world are high, the costs of not doing so — in terms of benefits foregone — are likely to be much higher. In particular, the book highlights the dangers that will accompany a failure to develop ICT strategies tailored to the specific and changing needs of countries in the developing regions of the world.” (IDRC website)
