Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

For all of the seriousness and high-mindedness of some, the Internet is a true reflection of humanity-its diversity, curiosity, and oddities. Wood collects all of this strangeness in one place, giving its readers a virtual voyeuristic tour of the Internet. Back in some corners of this network, there are those who seriously believe in electronic sex, humor beyond bad taste, and every conspiracy on the other side of the moon. This book takes you to these locales without anyone's knowing-unless, of course, you actually log on and travel to these newsgroups, servers, and discussion lists. Wood's advice and humor will keep you fortified as you browse through this thoughtful and entertaining Michelin. If you're ready for an adventure with your computer, this book will certainly point the way.
