This work proposes an answer to the question: what are computers for? It analyzes human activity and its relevance to computer use and interleaves a theory about the universal aspect of social life with a vision of how to harness computer power. Though technical in spirit and method, this book does not expect significant prior computer knowledge of the reader.
