Abstract

From the Publisher:In cyberspace, communication and co-ordination is cheap, fast, and global. With powerful new tools for interacting and organizing in the hands of millions of people worldwide, what kinds of social spaces and groups are people creating? How is the Internet changing our basic concepts of identity, self-governance and community? Communities in Cyberspace investigates how the idea of community is being challenged and rewritten by the widespread use of online interaction. This edited volume is an essential introduction to the landscape of social life in cyberspace. It will appeal to academics, students and professionals, and to those concerned about the changing relationship between information technology and society.
