情報や知識の定義を峻別したがる我が国学者先生を無視して、すべての知識はトンネルビジョンと呼ばれるフィルターによって恣意的に認識されたものにすぎないと主張する意見は共感できる。情報は、漏れ伝わりやすい性質をもちながら、機密性の高さをあわせもつ凝結した血液というたとえは最高。ゼロックス社内に伝播しなかったパソコンの知識が、社外(アップル社など)にいとも簡単に伝わった「実践のネットワーク」の議論は圧巻でした。日本語でよめるといいですね。

ITは万能薬のような誤解が少なからずある中でこの本は、もっと本質的に情報の役割を理解してからでないと新しいテクノロジーをどう適用すべきか判断できない、というのがメッセージであるように思えました。興味をひいたトピックとしては①SOHO実現の留意点、②BPRの落とし穴(ビジネスプロセスは組織で働く人のプラクティスによって価値あるものとなる。ゼロベースでプロセスだけをいきなりデザインするやり方では導入と効果の達成が難しい場合が多い)、③ナレッジを生み出す組織、等です。どの章も本質的なメッセージが多くて価値ある本だと推薦できますが、難点は、訳者も翻訳に難渋したと告白されている通り婉曲的な表現や独特の比喩を使っていたりして日本語としてはすんなり理解しにくい点が時々見受けられることでしょう。内容のレベルが高いので星は4つにしました。

Mandatory for executives of all stripes
2001年12月20日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Really an excellent collection of essays on information, learning, and knowledge.
The book was released in 2000 and has a refreshingly wise view of "the
information economy", avoiding and almost repudiating hyper-used terms
like "disintermediation", etc. Brown is a well-known scientist at
Xerox PARC, the place where some of the most important innovations in computing
were created (the mouse, the hard drive, GUI interfaces, early ethernet adapters,
and other things PARC brilliantly conceived but forgot to monetize) and has
much to offer us in the way of an anthropologists view of knowledge. The book
makes compelling arguments for continued relevance of "being there"
to learning, that concepts like distance learning or telecommuting will undoubtedly
have a profound change on us, but "being there" is fundamental to
how we learn, often in ways we never expected. The book is not your typical
"futurist" tome extrapolating the future based on linear thinking,
rather the authors provide a rich, contextual background on human behavior
that teaches the reader almost as if it were an anthropology class, only better.
The book also devotes a chapter to higher education and the challenges faced
by universities competing in the increasingly Darwinian world of customers
seeking the most efficient means to acquiring the knowledge they seek, at
the best price, without sacrificing the importance of the degree granted by
the institution. Execs of all stripes, marketing people, product development
people, and customer service types will find The Social Life of Information
worthwhile reading.

Important but overdone critique of info-enthusiasm
2001年8月26日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Despite their protestations to the contrary, Brown and Duguid's book comes across primarily as a critical rather than constructive commentary. Not that this is a bad thing. Powerful criticism of warped thinking and its implementation in strategy and business processes can be highly valuable. The usefulness of this book's criticism of "info-enthusiasts" would have been heightened had the authors presented a clear, actionable framework for implementing their thoughts, but this is frustratingly lacking. Early on the authors target Alvin Toffler as a prime representative of those who see everything through the lens of information. This lens produces a tunnel vision that shuts out social practices and other aspects of life that the authors insist cannot be reduced to information. Toffler provides an ideal target, explicitly presenting his "6-D vision" of demassification, decentralization, denationalization, despacialization, disintermediation, and disaggregation. These six forces, according to Toffler, have been unleashed by information technology, and will break down society into its basic constituents of individuals and information. Whether or not the authors are overly harsh on Toffler, their book does a superb job of showing the shortcomings of an entirely infocentric view.
In eight chapters, Brown and Duguid explore the limits to information and to the reductive focus on it, the limitations of software agents or "bots", the mistakes in thinking that information technology means the end of the traditional location-based workplace, the dangers of re-engineering around information processes without considering social practices and communities, and the limitations of info-centric thinking about learning, organizational innovation and knowledge management, and education.
All of this is well worth reading and paying close attention to. Yet this reviewer got the feeling that the authors often set up straw men to more easily make their points such as taking the most extreme statements of information technologists and futurists then presenting them as universal views among those groups. In some places they weave their arguments out of flimsy material that makes for a good story rather than for solid evidence. For example, they tell the story of how the scent of vinegar on old paper revealed information not contained in the words themselves. The point is well made, but the reader is left wondering how broadly this applies and why the authors do not mention information technology that at least attempts to achieve similar results (such as versioning, and meta-commentary Web tags). Some of the shortcomings of the info-centric view may also result from the immaturity of the technology. Certainly the authors have strong points about the value of physical proximity, though many workers are already finding technologies that allow remote work, and as broadband and eventually virtual reality become pervasive, more of the social cues currently missing may return to our tech-mediated interactions. Overall, this is an important book that identifies a real problem in thinking. In an infotech-saturated world, the authors may be forgiven for going too far in the other direction.

Timely must read book
2000年8月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I work every day with businesses that are using computer technology and teach people at several universities at a technical level. Most people have no idea of what is really going on. A person the other day came up to me and described his product as "you know the computer on Star Trek that you just talk to and they talk back like humans? That's what our product does." I have a degree in linguistics and decades of experience in software development and I knew he was full of it, but how is someone to judge?
I have been recommending everyone read the Social Life of Information. Not only for its accurate assesment of technology, but because the issue of social capital is one that we all need to address, especially in the technical areas. This book promises to be influential in the next decade on many levels.

The worst psuedo-intellectualism I have read in ages
2005年3月23日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book is the worst form of psuedo-intellectualism I have read in a long time. It is chock full of unexamined philosophical pretensions that anyone even remotely schooled in philosophy let alone educational theory would shudder before. This is a book of jargon for people that want philosophy without tears. Fundamental distinctions between cognition, learning, information, knowledge etc. are just thrown out onto the page like onions chipped into a frying pan. Unabashed by history, the book blithely sails past whole continents of philosophical work. The work seems torn between recommending more online interaction (information retrieval) and less of it with a few chants about the importance social contact slipped in as a chorus. Overall it fails by trying to be all things to all people while never offering an proper critique of technology and its social impact. Can't afford to offend the multinationals here. Possibly goood journalism.
