Cyberreader

Description by publisher: 

"CyberReader explores today's hottest topics and the increasingly important role that new technologies play in society. The selections range from the scholarly to the popular and include subjects such as virtual societies and identities, network security and hackers, online pornography, virtual libraries, hypertext, cyberpunks, cyborgs, the virtual class and the alternate reality of MUDs and MOOs. The book's introduction places the development of cyberspace in a historical context rooted in the 1960's, and each new section builds on the last to create a complete primer on how to conduct research, and even courses, on the Internet. Questions at the end of each unit connect the readings and an elaborate companion website directs students to additional sources on the Internet. An extended glossary and bibliography make cyberspace accessible even to the novice." (https://www.pearson.com/us/higher-education/program/Vitanza-Cyber-Reader...)
