PRISONERS OF GRAVITY'S 100TH SHOW!! As we enter the Information Age, science fiction grapples with the effect of this new culture.

Sawyer (Golden Fleece), John Brunner (Stand on Zanzibar), David Brin (Earth), George Zebrowski (Stranger Suns), and Martha Soukup (Rosemary's Brain). The Commander also looks at the impact of information on society with Clifford Stoll (The Cuckoo's Egg), the first person to track down and catch a computer hacker; Bill McKibben (The Age of Missing Information); and Paul Wollaston from Apple Computers.
