New Book Reviews in Cyberculture Studies (August 2001)

Each month, the Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies (RCCS)
<otal.umd.edu/~rccs/> publishes three full-length book reviews. The
reviews reflect a modest attempt to locate critically various contours 
of the emerging and interdisciplinary field of cyberculture studies. 
To date, RCCS has reviewed over 100 books, covering a range of topics,
from online culture, communities, and identities to hypertext, digital
literacy, and online pedagogy to Internet policy, the digital divide, 
and online privacy.

Lev Manovich, The Language of New Media (MIT Press, 2001).
