Visionary activist and author Jeremy Rifkin exposes the real stakes of the new economy, delivering ""the clearest summation yet of how the Internet is really changing our lives"" (The Seattle Times).

Imagine waking up one day to find that virtually every activity you engage in outside your immediate family has become a ""paid-for"" experience.

It's all part of a fundamental change taking place in the nature of business, contends Jeremy Rifkin. After several hundred years as the dominant organizing paradigm of civilization, the traditional market system is beginning to deconstruct. On the horizon looms the Age of Access, an era radically different from any we have known.

Reviews for Age of Access: The New Culture of Hypercapitalism Where All of Life is a Paid-for Experience

'One basic economic rule, as the author points out, has not changed since Roman times: caveat emptor. In the brave new wired world, it will be ever more difficult for the buyer to beware of technology speeding forward in nanoseconds, controlled by global giants. His view of corporate capitalism dematerialising into webs of access of networks of 'virtual' power is startling and compelling.' New York Times
