New Book Reviews in Cyberculture Studies (May 2001)
Each month, the Resource Center for Cyberculture
Studies (RCCS) <otal.umd.edu/~rccs/> publishes two or
three full-length book reviews. The reviews reflect a
modest attempt to locate critically various contours
of the emerging and interdisciplinary field of
cyberculture studies. To date, RCCS has reviewed over
85 books, covering a range of topics, from online
culture, communities, and identities to hypertext,
digital literacy, and online pedagogy to Internet
policy, the digital divide, and online privacy.
New reviews (found at http://otal.umd.edu/~rccs/books)
include:
David Bell and Barbara M. Kennedy, eds., The
Cybercultures Reader (Routledge, 2000). Reviewed by
Aimee Morrison and Kate O'Riordan.
Allan Lightman, The Diagnosis. Pantheon Books, 2000.
Reviewed by Ana Viseu.
Byron Reeves & Clifford Nass, The Media Equation. How
People Treat Computers, Television, and New Media Like
Real People and Places. CSLI Publications, 1996.
Reviewed by Mikael Jakobsson.
If you or your colleagues are interested in reviewing
books for RCCS, contact us directly at
