Yours and others presentations lately shows that many of us have interests
in what I would call the interface between IT and organization theory or
development. It is very easy to get fascinated by the new products and
modelling techniques. Therefore I will point at a very good book that
represents a insightful criticism to a blind appreciation of information
technology/AI. It serves a an eyeopener, and is also useful for L-O
purposes. Read

Roger Penrose (1990):
The Emperor's New Mind - Concerning Computers, Minds and the Law of Physics,
Vintage, London.
