Rezensionen
"Recommended. Lower-and-upper division undergraduates; generalreaders." (Choice , 1 April 2011)

"This collection is a timely, thought-provoking reflection onthe social and cultural impacts of cyberspace and new media. Ihighly recommend it to scholars, teachers, students and indeed allthose interested in new media and cyberculture." (M/CReviews, September 11, 2010)"Underscoring the larger socio-political, economic and culturalcontexts of digital and new media cultures, this refreshinglydiverse and interdisciplinary collection of scholarship offers asignificant and timely contribution to the field of cyberculturestudies."
--Kristin Scott, George Mason University

"What are cybercultures? Today, this question can only be askedand answered in the plural. The New Media and CyberculturesAnthology gives us a broad and well-nigh definitive sampling ofreflections on how new technologies have changed our lives."
--Steven Shaviro, author of Connected, Or, What ItMeans To Live in the Network Society

"It is obvious that screens, and what happens on them, are onlypart of the story of new media in the early 21st century. Thesetexts, ambitiously brought together by Pramod K. Nayar, providesome significant signposts for grasping the networks of flesh,fiber and affect operating inside, outside and beyond thescreen."
--Ryan Griffis, University of Illinois,Urbana-Champaign

"This collection gathers together interesting and importantessays which enable its readers to usefully and sensibly approachto the studies of new media and cyberculture."
