By evaluating the Internet's impact on key cultural issues of the day, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the seismic technological and cultural shifts the Internet has created in contemporary society.
• Includes essays on overarching themes and issues that are essential to understanding Internet culture, including privacy, celebrity, superficiality, and the personal toll online living can have on users
• Addresses current Internet material as well as classic memes, sites, and products
• Engages readers through a deliberately provocative point of view
• Provides a comprehensive examination of the realities surrounding Internet culture, which can be extremely positive or very ugly
• Differentiates itself from other examinations of Internet culture through emphasis on continuing themes rather than time-specific content
• Takes a distinctly international approach to the topic of today's digital, interconnected world
