本書的內容共分為三大篇，分別是：智慧電子商務（Smart Electronic Commerce）智慧科技應用（Smart Technology Applications）網路行銷與管理（Online Marketing and Management）各篇章的主題都很符合目前智慧電子商務的環境，研究也都有其深厚的學術理論與價值，學術性的嚴謹內容將來可能都會在相關的學術期刊發表，但是本書嘗試先以深入淺出的方式，讓非專業的讀者也能夠瞭解研究的發現。

榮獲2011年 普立茲小說獎、美國國家書評人獎楊照導讀序 吳明益、馬世芳、張惠菁專文推薦作家駱以軍、紀大偉、蔡素芬、李維菁、王聰威、李明璁 歌手陳綺貞聯名推薦人生如同音樂，時間無情流過，為何他比我美好？本書二度擊敗《自由》，暢銷突破40萬冊；不僅是「年度之書」，更譽為21世紀小說的新希望愛麗森．布萊克是個十二歲的女孩，他哥哥霖肯有輕微自閉症，喜歡聽搖滾樂曲。霖肯說偉大的搖滾樂曲，經常會出現很棒的停頓，有時幾秒，有時長達數十秒。「有時你以為樂曲結束了，其實沒有。」顯然所有的歌曲都會結束，但當他把每首歌的停頓做成無限循環的樂段重覆播放，愛麗森愛死了這些停頓片段。於是她用PowerPoint將霖肯的音樂研究，寫成『出現很棒停頓的搖滾歌曲』報告。「這些停頓中間究竟發生了什麼事？」就在這裡，她發現了時間的祕密。既尖銳又不斷改變面貌的新書……展現伊根的高度品味。 ──Janet Maslin，《紐約時報》將是你看過最聰穎的書。 ──Carolyn Kellogg，《洛杉磯時報》美國文學的新經典。 ──《TIME》《時間裡的癡人》一書中有十三個主角，分作十三個章節，作者從一個年華老去的「前」龐克搖滾歌手與唱片公司主管班尼‧薩拉查，還有他的助手莎夏開始，展開一段每篇變換主述角色，但彼此環環相扣的故事，讀者在各自獨立的故事中，走過紐約、舊金山、拿波里到非洲，角色和故事始終相互關聯，串成一個長篇，時間長達四十年。書中主角並不全然認識，或知道彼此的過去，但讀者清楚知道，他們的人生有過一連串的交集。回想各人過去的生活，傳達出人生的失落、宿命的無情。《時間裡的癡人》藉由一個搖滾樂的世界，描述音樂與時間的交錯：高峰樂段的神奇停頓、人生的大起大落、沒有絕對的起點與終點。在作者筆下，宿命讓我們與某些人相遇，就算是短暫連結，也足以殘酷地掀起波濤、改變人生。作者使用的風格與語調多變到令讀者喘不氣來，包括悲劇筆法、諷刺風格，甚至PowerPoint。她精準抓住凡人皆有的自我毀滅欲望，卻又深深渴望救贖；在時間的無情推進下，我們如何瘋狂地在音樂裡尋找這兩股湍流，無能為力地任其沖刷，卻也從中得到淨化。伊根是我們這個時代最膽氣十足的作者，而這是她最狡猾、最驚人、最令人振奮的作品。本書榮獲《紐約時報》、《洛杉磯時報》、《波士頓地球報》、《芝加哥論壇報》、《邁阿密前鋒報》、《歐普拉雜誌》、《出版人週刊》、《舊金山紀
