Exploring the intricate relationship between Internet culture and user experiences, this book delves into diverse topics such as personal relationships, commerce, and religion. It highlights how the Internet influences and reflects modern life, revealing both its unexpected qualities and inherent contradictions. Drawing from ethnographic research in Trinidad, the authors discuss the Internet's impact on concepts of space, time, and identity, while also examining websites as new cultural entities.
