The Deepening Divide: Inequality in the Information Society

by Jan A.G.M. van Dijk

The Deepening Inequality in the Information Society explains why the digital divide is still widening and, in advanced high-tech societies, deepening. Taken from an international perspective, the book offers full coverage of the literature and research and a theoretical framework from which to analyze and approach the issue. Where most books on the digital divide only describe and analyze the issue, Jan van Dijk presents 26 policy perspectives and instruments designed to close the divide itself.

I mean I read it for a class on the Sociology of Technology. Was a perfect fit. Hard to write something like this that is essentially in constant need of revision but was a great read.
