Death of sleep

Hey, I鈥檝e got this really cool idea: let鈥檚 stay up ALL NIGHT! Like all
adolescents, the IT industry has discovered 24-hour living and thinks it
invented the idea. Leon Kreitzman is its guru with The 24 Hour Society, an
enthusiastic vision of a world in which we work in call centres and relax in
24-hour 鈥渆atertainment鈥 (sic) establishments. Silliest statement comes from BT鈥檚
futurologist, Peter Cochrane. Writing the foreword from a Californian poolside,
he gloats: 鈥淥nly five years ago this would have been impossible.鈥 Tosh.
Journalists have been doing it for decades. Published by Profile, 拢16.99,
ISBN 1861971044.
