• Focuses on how the Internet fits into everyday lives, rather than considering it as an alternate world.
• Chapters are contributed by leading researchers in the area.
• Studies are based on empirical data.
• Talks about the reality of being online now, not hopes or fears about the future effects of the Internet.
