Cutting though the exaggerated and fanciful beliefs about the new
possibilities of `net life′, Hine produces a distinctive
understanding of the significance of the Internet and addresses such
questions as: what challenges do the new technologies of communication
pose for research methods? Does the Internet force us to rethink
traditional categories of `culture′ and `society′? In this
compelling and thoughtful book, Hine shows that the Internet is both a
site for cultural formations and a cultural artefact which is shaped
by people′s understandings and expectations. The Internet requires a
new form of ethnography. The author considers the shape of this new
ethnography and guides readers through its application in multiple
settings.
