Internet culture under examination

Cybersociety 2.0 gathers essays that examine how computer-mediated communication shapes emerging Internet cultures and ideas of community. Following a brief history of the medium, contributors focus on distinct cyber societies and questions such as online identity, conduct, knowledge, information, and power in social relations. The collection places these questions in the context of hopes and hype surrounding communication technologies, treating them as subjects for criticism and analysis. Published in 1998, the volume also offers a snapshot of the concerns attached to a period of rapidly developing communication technology.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the history and social effects of computer-mediated communication.

Book overview

Like its predecessor, the best-selling CyberSociety, published in 1994, Cybersociety 2.0 is rooted in criticism and analysis of computer-mediated technologies to assist readers in becoming critically aware of the hype and hopes pinned on computer-mediated communication and of the cultures that are emerging among Internet users. Both books are products of a particular moment in time, and serve as snapshots of the concerns and issues that surround the burgeoning new technologies of communication.

After a brief introduction to the history of computer-mediated communication, each essay in this volume highlights specific cyber societies and how computer-mediated communication affects the notion of self and its relation to community. Contributors probe issues of community, standards of conduct, communication, means of fixing identity, knowledge, information, and the exercise of power in social relations.
