A Look at the Partnership Networks of the Future,
Advance Praise for Tomorrow's Global Community:

"Easy to read and well written ... no reader of Jim Mann's book will face the 21st Century without hope. In this visionary book, Mann shows us that we are headed for a world where government, business and all other institutions of society will be transformed into networks of partnerships ... What he proposes could enhance human dignity, maximize individual choice, create more cooperation and win-win outcomes in human interactions, increase effectiveness and efficiency, reduce the gap between rich and poor, and create more fairness in relationships."

Wendell Bell, author and professor emeritus
Yale University Department of Sociology

"Congratulations! I have read every word -- some sections twice to let their full implication sink in ... You've made the book remarkably accessible even to folks who are less 'turned on' by politics and economics as I am ... This is an important book, well researc! hed, well thought out, and well written. Jim Mann is a practical visionary, rare in his willingness to tackle the whole schmear at once, to think through the fundamental changes that together constitute the information revolution. It is equally rare to discover a thinker who can write about such complex issues in readable prose."

Harlan Cleveland,

"In this extremely ambitious book, Jim Mann takes on nothing less than the future of the world -- and how it will be affected by the Information Age. The good news is that the spread of information and freedom of movement will eventually undermine the economic, cultural and psychological causes of group alienation."

Osborn Elliott,
Former Editor-in-Chief Newsweek
Dean emeritus, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism

In one of the most groundbreaking and tho! ught-provoking looks at the future since Alvin Toffler's Th! e Third Wave, media marketing expert Jim Mann foresees the end of bureaucracy and corporate culture in favor of global communities in his new book, TomorrowÕs Global Community: How the Information Deluge is Transforming Business and Government. In this meticulously researched book, Mann boldly predicts the ever-increasing volume and accessibility of information will eventually bring down some of the Western worldÕs most entrenched paradigms in society, culture and politics. With the rise in information access, Mann argues bureaucracies in both the public and private sector, no longer able to do their intended jobs, will eventually die off. These structures will be replaced by a myriad of partnership networks, bringing people of similar interests and aptitudes in every human endeavor. Mann calls for an end to intellectual property in the form of copyrights and patents, and to make his case takes the unusual step of not copyrighting his book. Mann offers a fictional account of what the world will look like in the year 2301, after the changes he predicts in society have taken place. In this new world, community and government are determined by a myriad of these specialized partnership networks, with locality a secondary concern at best. Nation-states and corporations no longer exist, and virtually every function of society is privatized.
