ABSTRACT
Editors’ introduction
The chapters in this book have explained what HyperReality is and speculated on its future impact in specific fields of activity. Bob Dylan sang, ‘The times they are a-changing’ and it is not just because of HyperReality. The connectivity between the factors of change in a networked global society means that HR will in its turn be impacted by such factors as the ageing of societies, the rise of feminism and the process of globalisation. In this concluding chapter the editors outline possible stages of development for HyperReality and place them in the broad context of the dynamics of the information revolution.
