This wide-ranging introductory text looks at the virtual community
of cyberspace and analyzes its relationship to the real one as
lived out in today's societies. Such issues as race, gender, power,
economics and ethics in cyberspace are discussed by the leading
experts on the subject of the Internet, grouped under four main
sections: identity; social order and control; community structure
and dynamics; and collective action. The book displays how the idea
of community is being challenged and rewritten by the increasing
power and range of cyberspace. As new societies and relationships
are formed in this virtual landscape, we are now having to consider
the potential consequences this might have on our own community and
societies.;The text should appeal to students and professionals,
but also to those concerned about the changing relationships
between information technology and a society which is fast becoming
divided between those on-line and those not.
