A communal  resistance to an abstract conceptualised world, where there is no  possibility for perception and experience of power and therefore no  possibility for human choice and action, is of utmost importance for  the constituting of human choosers and actors.\u003cbr\u003e  This book therefore sets focus on those human choosers and actors  wishing to read and enjoy the papers as they are actually perceiving  and experiencing their lives in a diversity of social and cultural  contexts. In so doing, the book tries to imagine in what kind of  networks humans may choose and act based on the knowledge and  empirical evidence presented in the papers.\u003cbr\u003e  The topics covered in the book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e People  and Their Changing Values. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Citizens in a Network Society.  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e The Individual and Knowledge Based Organisations. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Human  Responsibility and Technology. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Exclusion and Regeneration.  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e   This valuable new book contains the edited proceedings of the  Fifth World Conference on Human Choice and Computers (HCC-5), which  was sponsored by the International Federation for Information  Processing (IFIP) and held in Geneva, Switzerland in August 1998.
