Product Description
Review
I would whole-heartedly recommend The Cybercultures Reader as an undergraduate teaching text, or as an introduction to the field for newly-interested scholars. Aimee Morrison, University of Alberta.
The Cybercultures Reader does exactly what I think a Reader should do: it provides a core text for cybercultural study...a complex and fascinating collection. Kate O'Riordan, University of Sussex.

Didn't do much for me,
By Rabble (Montevideo, Uruguay) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cybercultures Reader (Paperback)
This seemed to be a collection of essays that don't quite go anywhere. Maybe for somebody it's good but for me it felt like mix of artists and cultural studies types who don't really get online with some people who spend too much time online in mud's and other virutal 'worlds'. It seem to lack any theortical or intellectual backbone. Aside from that, if you get a list of the essays most of them can be found online. ;)

Ignore the cliched title and access a wide variety of academic views,

This review is from: The Cybercultures Reader (Paperback)
I fond some of this book cliched and tenditious. However by perservering and wading through the entire text revealed some gems, look in particular for aldous Huxley's formula for bad art!A great resource and one that would be very useful for undergrads especially 17 of 27 people found the following review helpful
