I have just re-read this book 20 years after the first time and enjoyed it immensely. It is about change and how we have to survive in business and life generally by embracing change. The strange thing is there is no mention of the internet as it was something not envisaged in 1988 when the book was written. Charles Handy has written some excellent business books but this is the best. (
