Abstract
I have adopted this book for my upper-division undergraduate course, "Computers and Society," a combination computer-literacy/social-impacts-of-computers course. It is a far better social science text than others I have reviewed. The best of these computer literacy or introductions-to-applications-use texts provide reasonably detailed histories of the development of computing, a thorough introduction to hardware and software, and a section on social impacts with chapters devoted to various institutions, for example, medicine. I have used Logsdon (1980), Hopper and Mandell (1984), Capron and Williams (1986), and Hussain and Hussain (1986).
