The main idea of the book is that the biggest value very soon will be not capital but information and new elite will be people who produce information there will be close circles of such information- produceres and ones who can give them feedback and also produce information will be in thes eclose circcles not ones that are reach. When USB storage cards begin to cost like 10 bread loafs I begin to believe money soon won`t be so importnat as information.

I would agree information is already power, so it is reasonable to expect that it will soon be more
important than money.
I like this thinking

Ironic that it's not available in an e-book edition. :)
