Overuse of the internet is often characterized as problematic,
disruptive, or addictive, with stories frequently claiming that
online use interferes with relationships, or that 'excessive' time
in front of computer screens is unhealthy. The Multiplicities of
Internet Addiction contests the claim that computers - specifically
Internet use - are addictive, arguing that use of the Internet is
now a form of everyday leisure engaged in by many people in Western
society. Offering an analysis of the nature of addiction alongside
a detailed empirical study of home computer use, this book will be
of interest not only to sociologists of culture and popular
culture, but also to scholars of media, ICT and education.
