With lively stories and interesting case histories, Laura Gurak shows how to sort fact from fiction, detect hoaxes, identify advertising masquerading as product information, protect privacy, and contend with other critical issues related to the new language of the Internet.”Shooting her laserbeam intelligence at historical aspects of this relatively new rhetorical space, Laura J. 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.”-Kathleen Tyner, author of Teaching and Learning in the Age of Information
