Opis

Space is central to our lives. Because of this, much attention is directed at understanding and explaining the geographic world. This text extends this analysis to provide a geographic exploration and critical reading of cyberspace and information and communication technologies. The author provides an understanding of what cyberspace looks like and the social interactions that take place there and explores the impacts of cyberspace - information and communication technologies - on cultural, political and economic relations.

'The book provides a clear and broad introduction to major theoretical. Methodical, and empirical issues related to cyberspace research.  Mapping Cyberspace is a critical first stop for any researcher interested in contributing new knowledge in this exciting emerging field.' - Joshua Lepawsky, University of Kentucky for Cultural Geographies
