The founder of his own Internet company, Wilson takes readers on a tour of the virtual future. He describes everything from electronic cash to neobiological civilization with countless info-bites and quotes from experts and observers. Wilson paints in broad strokes as he describes the sea change brought on by this technological development. Atoms are heavy, bits weigh nothing. Atoms must be checked at the border and given permission to cross, bits can't be stopped.
Atoms are the past, bits are the future.
So Wilson calls us to learn. Wilson's a church man, too. But he's convinced the church and Internet go together like pancakes and syrup. While many have a 'net presence, Wilson urges the average church to raise its sites. The price tag may cause coronary stress, but the rewards are worth it.
