Tapscott has authored or co-authored thirteen books on the application of technology in business and society. His most recent book, released in 2008 and entitled "Grown Up Digital: How the Net Generation is Changing Your World," draws upon a 4.5 million dollar research study of over 11,000 young people and examines how the net generation is changing the world and all of its institutions.[6] "Grown Up Digital" is a follow-up to his popular 1997 book "Growing Up Digital: The Rise of the Net Generation" which explained the business and social impact of the first generation to come of age in the digital world. His most famous book, co-authored with Anthony Williams and published in 2006 is Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything.

His 2000 release Digital Capital: Harnessing the Power of Business Webs describes how business webs are replacing the traditional model of the firm and changing the dynamics of wealth creation and competition. Digital Economy: Promise and Peril In The Age of Networked Intelligence, published in 1995, was one of the first books to describe how the Internet would change business and society. Tapscott is also known for his 1992 book Paradigm Shift: The New Promise of Information Technology.
