Opis

This text provides an introduction to the politics of the Internet. Written around a clear and simple theoretical framework, Cyberpower presents all the key concepts, with the author guiding the reader through material including original research in interviews and statistical analysis, to provide the first complete analysis of the politics and culture of cyberspace. Subjects covered include: power and cyberspace; the virtual individual; society in cyberspace; and imagination and the Internet. Using case studies from the rich mythology of the electronic frontier, from cyber-rape to total surveillance, Tim Jordan shows how cyberspace is remaking global society.
