Reading Digital Culture brings together key essays that have established the terms of the debate about the future of information technology. Definitive essays by many of the field's most widely read commentators - Virilio, Haraway, Landow, Castells, Aronowitz, Plant, Ross, Zizek, Guattari - range across issues that are central to digital life and culture: knowledge production, cyber-identity, computer art, online community, Internet commerce, and the effect of technology on work and leisure. With contributions from both inside and outside the technology field, Reading Digital Culture will be essential reading for anyone interested in - and living in the midst of - the digital revolution.
