Knowledge work is now the reigning business paradigm and affects even
the world of higher education. But what perspective can the knowledge
of the humanities and arts contribute to a world of knowledge work
whose primary mission is business? And what is the role of information
technology as both the servant of the knowledge economy and the medium
of a new technological cool? In The Laws of Cool, Alan Liu reflects on
these questions as he considers the emergence of new information
technologies and their profound influence on the forms and practices
of knowledge.
