Recenzii

"There are numerous edited collections that deal with the social, policy, and ethical aspects of the Internet. Some of them will have a short shelf-life, as their theoretical perspective is thin and overall sentiment too deterministic and utopian. Living with Cyberspace, however, offers a challenging and critical perspective on important facets of cyberspace and lays a good foundation for future work." -Left Curve
