The outcomes of these conflicts are extremely important as they shape our future experiences of technology, society and politics.Providing an interesting and original perspective on a current and much debated field, this book takes issue with received wisdom. It will be essential reading for all those with interests in cyber-culture, the sociology of technology and contemporary citizenship politics.
