[.ca] Culture of the Internet (ISBN 0805816364)

academically interesting, but slightly dated:
i've read a majority of this book as part of an english course. i would consider it reasonably well varied and interesting in the context of academia, but by no means groundbreaking or anything i wouldn't expect. this is a collection of papers about the internet, generally with emphasis on sociology, so this isn't exactly leisure reading. it is also becoming slowly dated -- today's frequent users of the internet will find this book as only support for now common perceptions about the internet which may have been new at the time of writing. it also lacks any articles on media invented since the book's writing and now commonplace, such as instant messaging.

Good book but dated in places.:
It's a pretty good book but some of the stuff in it is old. I'd like to see a new revision of it.
