Built on the successful framework of previous editions, the eagerly anticipated eighth edition of Principles of Information Systems has been heavily revised and reorganized and now offers a streamlined text that covers the most up-to-date and relevant topics of information technology.

Accomplished authors Ralph Stair and George Reynolds continue to expose their readers to clear learning objectives that are reinforced by timely, real-world business examples and hands-on activities. Regardless of their major, students can use this book to understand and practice fundamental IS principles so that they can function more efficiently and effectively as workers, managers, decision makers, and organizational leaders.

Gives a good overview on the broad topic of Information Systems, it is difficult with such a book to keep it topical on such dynamic topics as AI and IoT.

The thing with technology and information system is that as soon as you write, edit, and publish a book on the "latest" technology, that technology is already out-dated. That being said, this 101-level book serves as a good introduction to the IT/IS world. While this won't put you in a position to become a CIO, you will know the general idea of how information flows and is stored in an organization.
