`Cees Hamelink is one of the world's leading analysts of informational trends. He is also a scholar with a deep ethical commitment. In this volume he brings together these concerns in work which is at once urgent and illuminating' - Frank Webster, The University of Birmingham `Cees Hamelink has written an indispensible pionering guide to the moral maze of cyberspace.
