'By far the most sophisticated historical and theoretical treatment
of the Internet to appear so far, yet a real pleasure to read.
Enormously comprehensive and tough minded, The Internet
and Society dramatically raises the level of discussion about a
phenomenon that is radically changing the way we live.' James
Lull, Professor of Communication Studies, San Jose State
University, California
'Slevin sets out to challenge traditional ways of looking at the
internet and he achieves this. His book is challenging and
thought-provoking, and a first step towards an understanding of the
cultural impact of the internet. His work is well informed and well
based in previous scholarship.' Business History
'An insightful analysis into the interplay between communication
and culture.' Sunday Tribune (Dublin)
'This book deserves much praise. Slevin provides a well
reasoned and systematic account that illuminates the social
situatedness and significance of the internet within contemporary
society.' Lincoln Dahlberg, Convergence
