Item description from seller

Hardcover, xviii + 349 pages, NOT ex-library. Gentle wear, book is clean, bright, untanned, with unmarked text; free of stamps and inscriptions, firmly bound. Dust jacket shows light shelfwear, a tiny edge-nick to the lower spine. -- A critical examination of the impact of digital technologies on social structures and human interactions, this scholarly work explores the concept of the "virtual society," questioning the extent to which technological advancements have truly transformed social norms, behaviors, and realities. Woolgar delves into the hype surrounding digital innovations, contrasting it with empirical research and theoretical insights to reveal a more nuanced understanding of technology's role in contemporary life. This book is essential for sociologists, technologists, and scholars interested in the interplay between society and technology, providing a balanced perspective on the promises and pitfalls of the digital age. -- Contents: Five Rules of Virtuality / Steve Woolgar; They Came, They Surfed, They Went Back to the Beach: Conceptualizing Use and Non-Use of the Internet / Sally Wyatt, Graham Thomas & Tiziana Terranova; Visualization Needs Vision: The Pre-Paradigmatic Character of Virtual Reality / G.M.
