Frank Webster (born 27 September 1950) is a British sociologist. His critical writing on the "information society" has been translated into many languages, widely discussed ^[1] and criticized.^[2] In Theories of the Information Society,^[3] he examined six analytically separable conceptions of the information society, arguing that all are suspect, so much so that the idea of an information society cannot be easily sustained.
