the unequal access to information technology and its consequences for social inequality. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in multiple U.S. cities, the author examines the origins and dimensions of the divide, evaluates the effectiveness of past and present public‑ and community‑based interventions (like community technology centers and training programs), and offers concrete recommendations to policymakers and communities for bridging the gap. With a focus on technology, community engagement, and governance, the book shows how access to IT can open pathways out of poverty and foster social inclusion
