This comprehensive introduction explores the theories and new information andcommunication technologies that we now take to bebut often fail to really understandas cyberculture. Nayars original interpretation probes online identities, game-worlds, social networks, blogs, and fans, and how they are embedded inmaterial conditions where race, gender, sexuality and other forms of identitydo matter and have very real (and real-world) consequences. From Haraways work on the philosophy of cyborgs to theories of digi-textuality and metamedia, Introduction to Cyberculture also explores key questions relating to the political economy, racialization, gendering and governance of cybercultures. Timely and essential, Introduction to Cyberculture is a thought-provoking glimpse into the rapidly-evolving networked world of the twenty-first century.
