Trade Review
"Shooting her laserbeam intelligence at historical aspects of this relatively new rhetorical space, Laura Gurak sizzles here with deep insight and a vision of the cyberfuture. A must read. Soon to become a classic." Kathleen Ethel Welch, author of Electric Rhetoric "In this engaging book, social critic Laura Gurak looks past the boxes and wires of the Internet to explore the human side of the digital revolution." Katheleen Tyner, author of Teaching and Learning in the Age of Information
