Sleepers, Wake!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sleepers, Wake! Technology and the Future of Work is a well-known book by Barry O. Jones, originally published in 1982 and reprinted many times.

Jones argues that science and technology have changed the quality, length and direction of life in the past century far more than politics, education, ideology or religion. Thomas Edison and Henry Ford have shaped human experience more broadly and enduringly than Lenin and Hitler.

He goes on to say that technologically advanced nations are currently passing through a post-industrial or Information Revolution, created by technology of unprecendented capacity. Nations, regions and people face unique threats and opportunities.

Barry Jones, was Minister for Science in the Hawke government from 1983 to 1990. [1]
