"Uncovers the roots of our cultural responses to the internet, which are centred upon a profoundly ambivalent reaction to technological modernity. Majid Yar argues that only by understanding our society's reactions to technological innovation can we develop a balanced and considered response to the changes and challenges that the internet brings in its wake."--Back cover
