Author: Martin, a Pulitzer Prize nominee, has written 100 technical textbooks - more than any other living person. Many of his books have been best sellers in the IT industry. 'The Great Transition,' one of Martin's recent business technology books, focuses on how to integrate today's management disciplines and technologies into a successful formula for individual firms. Martin has also written about the evolution of a new type of corporation, which is the subject of 'Cybercorp - The New Business Revolution,' released in late 1996. 'Cybercorp' defines corporations that are optimized for the age of cyberspace. Martin maintains that the cybercorp revolution requires the reinvention of employment everywhere; he believes business transitions will produce extreme growth rates in corporations that implement these ideas and devastation in those resistant to adaptation. Martin's latest book is entitled 'After the Internet: Alien Intelligence.' In this book Martin discusses the new frontiers of computer technology. Instead of merely following human logic, computers are developing an alien intelligence that is radically different from human intelligence and incomparably more powerful. Martin earned an M.A. and D.Litt. from Oxford, a D.Sc. from Salford in England, and an honorary D.Eng. from Hokkaido Technical University in Japan for his work on information engineering.
