Media Reviews
a 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.a James Lull, Professor of Communication Studies, San Jose State University, California a 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.a Business History a An insightful analysis into the interplay between communication and culture.a Sunday Tribune (Dublin) a 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.a Lincoln Dahlberg, Convergence
