Description for India and the IT Revolution
Paperback. Num Pages: 202 pages, biography. BIC Classification: JFC; JFD; JFSR; JHB; JHBL; KCS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
The 'Indian Techie' has become a global icon, taking its place alongside McDonalds and MTV as one of the key symbols of contemporary globalization. India and the IT Revolution explores the contemporary emergence of cosmopolitan, high-tech India as marking the arrival of a truly global cyberculture. It argues against the notion that globalization is a process of 'Westernization', which radiates out unilaterally from the core, imposing itself upon a passive, backward periphery. Instead, it conceives of global culture as a dynamic, innovative network, which proceeds primarily from its edges.
