Only MIT and the leading US technology strategists could have drawn such a breathtakingly insightful roadmap to the future of business, politics, and the professions. Nothing so intelligible and thorough exists.
Jeff Cunard, Debevoise & Plimpton
For an innocent like myself, asking for orientation in a world increasingly organized by DMUs, CD-ROMs, LANs, WANs and other creatures of the computer, Technology 2001 is the indispensable guidebook. The picture it paints for the decade ahead sometimes seems to outdistance science fiction.
Raymond Vernon, Dillon Professor of International Business, Harvard University
Fascinating. We're all dazzled by advances in computer and telecommunication technology. But we seldom have the opportunity to sit back and think about the implications or where we are headed. Leebaert's marvelous book does that for you.
Phil Odeen, Managing Partner, Coopers & Lybrand, Washington D.C.
Technology 2001 shows technologists and policymakers the exciting places that computers and communications are taking us. It is a much needed guide as we try to make the proper policy decisions for reaping the benefits of these often bewildering possibilities.
Senator Al Gore, Chairman of the Science, Technology, and Space Subcommitte, US Senate
The book quite simply plots the course of high tech's pivotal influence on US business. I know of nothing else as useful for both the general reader and the industry specialist.
Robert Dean, Senior Vice President and Group Executive, Ball Crop.
Denos Gazis of IBM contributes a wonderful no-nonsense chapter called 'Brief Time, Long March.' He charts the course our recent technological past has taken, then assays our current condition for strengths and weaknesses. It is a fact-filled tour of the state of the industry. Other chapters stand out for the same thoroughness.... The writers know their topics and communicate their knowledge with skill... Technology 2001 prepares us for the future by assessing our present condition with depth and accuracy, and by raising the questions that should stay poised on our lips as we hurtle forward.
