[Air-l] Canonical Readers

[John Campbell]

In addition to those important works indicated by David, three other
collections merit mention:



Cultures of Internet: Virtual Spaces, Real Histories, Living Bodies (1996),
edited by Rob Shields.



Internet Culture (1997), edited by David Porter



Communities in Cyberspace (1999), edited by Marc Smith and Peter Kollock



Though I'm not sure if I would characterize these works as canonical, they
certainly constitute interesting collections.  There is a particularly smart
article by Jodi O'Brien on gender and online interaction in the Smith and
Kollock collection.



Of course, there is also the very early collection edited by Michael
Benedikt, Cyberspace, First Steps (1992).



Best,

John
