Opis

How is society being shaped by the diffusion and increasing centrality of the Internet in everyday life and work? By bringing together leading research that addresses some of the most significant cultural, economic, and political roles of the Internet, this volume introduces students to a core set of readings that address this question in specific social and institutional contexts.

Recenzje

I highly recommend this first edition to students who need a comprehensive overview of the field of Internet Studies, or those who seek new ideas and perspectives from other Internet scholars.
