Description: "Digital Mythologies asks hard questions about where information technology is taking us. Through anecdotes drawn from his experiences as former editor-in-chief of Telecommunications magazine, the author gives readers a peek behind the scenes of the Internet industry. He explores the underlying social and political implications of the Net and its associated technologies, based on his contention that the cyberspace experience is far more complex than is commonly assumed.

Valovic explores these hidden complexities, and points to fascinating connections between the Internet and our contemporary culture."--BOOK JACKET.
