                Word Matters, a collective work by some thirty authors
                from civil societies all over
                the world, deciphers the central concepts of the
                "information society".
                Technology is never neutral: it carries social, economic
                and cultural consequences.
                New information and communication technologies are no
                exception.
                The words used in international negotiations or
                legislation are a poor
                refl ection of such consequences; they propagate
                perceptions that are rarely
                subjected to democratic debate, the fundamental
                requirement for any
                political decision.
                At this juncture, as the World Summit on the Information
                Society unfolds,
                this book subjects the concepts of the information age
                to critical perspectives
                from different sensibilities and cultures, thus
                introducing alternative
                visions.
                Fully multilingual, this work is a reference for anyone
                who aspires to
                decode these key issues, and is an invitation to pursue
                the debate.
