    Abstract
    Attempts to trace the origins of what is becoming known as the 'information society' by assembling and evaluating the available data with a view to providing clarification of the provenance of a now widely used and influencial concept. Examines the 2 main accounts that have appeared: Machlup's 1962 monograph 'The production and distribution of knowledge in the United States'; and the claims by the Japanes, citing articles in the proadcasting periodical, Hoso Asahi. Discusses the various equivocations and confusions, such as the tendency in both accounts to conflate the 'information society' with the concept of an 'information industry'. Concludes that the second, Japanese, claim emerges as the stronger. However, argues (perhaps controversially) that ultimate credit for the invention of the 'information society' belongs not to the authors of the articles published in Hoso Asahi, but to that periodical's staff
