The most important commodity of the new millennium will be information. In the twenty first century, your success in life depends not just on who you know, but on what you know about who you know, and what you-know-who knows about what you know about him or her. The main tool of this dawning Age of Information is the computer. It has already invaded virtually every corner of our lives, from the corporate work station to the spare bedroom. In the process, society is splitting into two distinct camps: people who are enthusiastic about the new information technology and people who are enthuiastic about moving to Outer Mongolia.In this new humour collection, Leacock Medal-winner John Levesque explores cyberspace, inner space and other frontiers of daily life. Stranded On The Information Highway is neither a ringing affirmation nor a passionate denunciation of the way we live. Instead, it asks an all-important question: Is there and instruction manual for this thing?

John Levesque is the author of two novels, Rosseter's Memory and Sometime Soon, and two collections of essays, Stranded on the Information Highway and Waiting for Aquarius. The latter book won the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour.
