'In summary, I find this book very informative. It includes many topical subjects that simply are not found in most books. This book provides an excellent overall summary, and compiles a lot of world-class thinking about delivering information technology in to governments. For that reason is an excellent reference in addition to being a high quality text useful for civic and government studies where technology and techno-social issues are being discussed. This book can serve as the basis for beginning many discussions and for providing training and education in government information technology needs and approaches. In my view, this is essential reading and readers will learn a lot from it.' - Jeff Thurston, 3D Visualization World Magazine
