Rezensionen

"Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty." (Choice, 1 April 2012)

"Together, the comprehensive and quite thought-provoking individual essays provide richly insightful perspectives into the extent to which the internet is shaping and being shaped by human cultures and societies, and the various ways in which scholars might consider and approach such processes." (Digital Journalism, 19 August 2014)
