5.0 out of 5 stars
Still an Important Read, October 12, 2009
This review is from: Cyborgs@Cyberspace?: An Ethnographer Looks to the Future (Paperback)
Yes, this book is old. You still should read it. Ten years after its initial publish date, many of Hakken's insights and analysis still hold true. Cyborgs@Cyberspace is prophetic and a true testament to the validity of ethnographic research. Most importantly, Cyborgs@Cyberspace provides a clear framework for critically analyzing the so called "Computer Revolution."

Interesting subject, April 18, 2002
This review is from: Cyborgs@Cyberspace?: An Ethnographer Looks to the Future (Paperback)
As social constructivism goes this book is engaging and made me question my cyber life. It helped me write a brief paper. I am happy to say I enjoyed his delineation of the topics of cyberspace ethnography and feel they are valid. I was amazed at his sharing a professional reputation episode of his, that happened on the net. I didn't quite finish it but it gave me some good thoughts on the study of the social impact of computing and good first grasp of cyberstudies proper.
