In the best ethnographic tradition, it presents complexity rather than reductively erasing place, people, and politics. It is long overdue and should be widely read as an important contribution from media anthropology to the wider field of digital media research.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMark Pedelty\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Minnesota\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003eThis is a very strong contribution to media anthropology [that] will quickly stimulate a spate of innovative research on the Internet because it provides conceptual tools that open new avenues of study.
