Australia - like Britian, the US, Japan and Sweden - is passing through a postindustrial revolution. Manufacturing is declining as an employer: by the 1970s personal services had become the greatest area of employment. Now we live in an information - based economy. This book urges all of us to become aware of the implications of life in a 'post - service' era. The author draws together an eclectic range of sources and historical evidence to provide a global and controversial analysis of our position vis-a -vis both the past and the future. He also outlines a political programme which aims to ensure that we get the best and not the worst out of the technological revolution
