In Information Science, Seadle takes a hitherto unforeseen, and yet a novel and multifaceted approach to discuss the evolution, implications and applications of information as a concept, and information science as a discipline. The discussions, observations and commentaries appearing in the chapters throughout this book are a product of Seadle’s rich knowledge, research and scholarship, and senior management experience in the field of information science at national and global levels. This is a must read for anyone who wants to know and understand the role of information in the evolution of our society from the stone age to the modern era of Artificial Intelligence.
