Summary:
"Written by an expert in media, popular culture, gender, and sexuality, this book surveys the common archetypes of Internet users--from geeks, nerds, and gamers to hackers, scammers, and predators--and assesses what these stereotypes reveal about our culture's attitudes regarding gender, technology, intimacy, and identity. Provides exhaustively researched and richly detailed information about the interplay between media representations of Internet users and gender, politics, technology, and society that is fascinating and fun to read; Presents findings that suggest that in spite of the Internet being so prevalent, technophobia is still an inherent subtext of many pop culture references to it; Considers how the vast majority of the portrayals of Internet user stereotypes are male--and evaluates how these male-dominated roles shape and are shaped by popular attitudes about sexuality, technology, intimacy, and identity"--Provided by publisher.
