Gives a good overview on the broad topic of Information Systems, it is difficult with such a book to keep it topical on such dynamic topics as AI and IoT.

The thing with technology and information system is that as soon as you write, edit, and publish a book on the "latest" technology, that technology is already out-dated. That being said, this 101-level book serves as a good introduction to the IT/IS world. While this won't put you in a position to become a CIO, you will know the general idea of how information flows and is stored in an organization.
