The Internet is transforming business, education, and maybe even ourselves. In this timely and unique text, Adam Joinson provides a clear, engaging and lively summary of the psychology of the Internet, while at the same time drawing lessons from previous technologies as diverse as the early telephone, telegraph, and even radio hams. Mixing anecdote with findings from psychological studies, this book provides a clear, compelling and insightful vision of the psychology of the Internet, and the implications for the design of future technologies.

This review is from: Understanding the Psychology of Internet Behaviour: Virtual Worlds, Real Lives (Paperback)
I'm working on a project about internet culture and behavior online. this book covers it all. All the other books i've found (and there weren't that many) only talk about a few of the things this book covers.
