Product Information
Beniger traces the origin of the Information Society to major economic and business crises of the 1800s. Inevitably the Industrial Revolution, with its ballooning use of energy to drive material processes, required a corresponding growth in the exploitation of information.

This is a comic book size booklet with no real information in it. Looks like it was written by a high school student. Terribly useless.
