About This Book

The author surveys how the Internet reshapes everyday life, using reporting, interviews, and case studies to examine commercial ventures, online entertainment, the impact on publishing and libraries, legal and ethical questions about information access and censorship, and social uses of networks including matchmaking and community-building. Chapters progress from a broad overview of the network’s terrain to business practices, cultural experiments, the print-versus-digital debate, controversies over sensitive material, government policy and regulation, and the practical ways people connect online, balancing descriptive anecdotes with discussion of implications for individuals and institutions.
