Review
"Heitzman traces the development of the city in southern India into a hub of the computer industry against the background of urban growth in India over the past half century. Linking information technology and social organization, he analyzes the evolution of an inter- organizational model that accompanied the rapid expansion of computer and telecommunication technologies. He also looks at related developments in education, research, and the non-profit sector."--Reference & Research Book News
"Well researched, meticulously documented, and featuring penetrating analysis, this important resource for achieving a better understanding of the modern urban economy and information technology is a valuable addition to urban development, globalization, and telecommunications studies. Highly recommended."--CHOICE
