Abstract

From the Publisher:Stefik writes with a clarity of thought and with pithy, compelling examples that quickly draw readers in and encourage them to think beyond the surface meaning of the Internet. The potential social effects of immersion in Internet and Web culture are widespread, complex, and only dimly understood. Exploring this (cyber)space with Stefik is not only exhilarating, it is a growth experience for readers who are relatively new to the network. Even those of us (dinosaurs) who have been around since the Eocene of networking find it eye-opening to consider new metaphors to inform our thinking and to make facts become clearer in the telling.
