Book Description

March 2004
We need clear pictures and simple words to understand technology better. It is becoming too complex to grasp spontaneously. This book offers mind tools to master technology.

The readership is technology conversant individuals, managers, investment analysts and policy-makers.

The book uses a coherent code that connects all technologies. This code is based on the discovery that physical reality can be described in terms of three fundamental subsystems - subsystems that handle matter (M), energy (E), and information (I) respectively. The MEI distinction provides the key to profoundly simple analytical frameworks.

The book is offered as a subtle contribution to the global mastery of technology.
