The Laws of Cool: Knowledge Work and the Culture of Information
Alan Liu
Abstract
Knowledge work is now the reigning business paradigm and affects even the world of higher education. But what perspective can the knowledge of the humanities and arts contribute to a world of knowledge work whose primary mission is business? And what is the role of information technology as both the servant of the knowledge economy and the medium of a new technological cool? This book reflects on these questions as it considers the emergence of new information technologies and their profound influence on the forms and practices of knowledge.
Keywords: knowledge work, business, higher education, humanities, arts, information technology, knowledge economy, knowledge, cool
