The book delves into how Internet culture influences and reflects users' lives across diverse settings, from cybercafes to informal settlements. It explores topics such as personal relationships, commerce, and religion, while analyzing websites as new cultural entities. Through ethnographic research in Trinidad, it reveals how email, chat, and browsing expose both the Internet's unique characteristics and the complexities of modern existence. Additionally, it discusses the Internet's impact on concepts of space, time, and identity in the context of the evolving political economy of information.
