" From the Prologue: The American computer industry has been innovative, vital, and successful...Today we dominate the world's ideas and markets in this most important of all modern technologies. But what about tomorrow? The Japanese have seen gold on distant hills...and have audaciously made it a national goal to become number one in this industry by the latter half of the 1990's. they aim not only to dominate the traditional forms of the computer industry but also to establish a 'knowledge industry' in which knowledge itself will be a salable commodity like food and oil. Knowledge itself it to become the new wealth of nations. The Japanese plan is bold and dramatically forward-looking. It is unlikely to be completely successful in the ten-year period. But to view it therefore as 'a lot of smoke, ' as some American industry leaders have done, is a serious mistake...Who in the 1960's took seriously the Japanese initiative in small cars? Who in 1970 took seriously the Japanese national goal of becoming number one in consumer electronics in ten years?
