This is certainly the longest piece of journalism I have ever had published in a major newspaper and is also one of the most important stories I have written. It announced the up-coming digital revolution in no uncertain terms just before the World Wide Web took off, and sketched out the effects it was already having in politics, business, education, entertainment and beyond. It owes a great deal to the energy, thoughts and ideas of Steven Alexander. I had already discussed the ‘information highway’ with Al Gore when I met him in London in 1992.
