War of the Worlds: Cyberspace and the High-tech Assault on Reality Book

Mark Slouka is Neil Postman's kindred spirit. These essays offer a critique of how cyberspace effects and changes the rest of reality. With an acerbic tongue, Slouka examines what he considers to be the dark side of the net. Slouka can get quite melodramatic, as when he compares Wired editor Kevin Kelly to Nazi propaganda filmmaker Leni Rienfenstahl.

  • Product Description

    Part cultural critique, part call to the ramparts, this funny, eerily disturbing, humanist's look at the culture of cyberspace suggests that more is going on there than mere on-line communication. Offering a brave new vision of the digital avant-garde, Slouka takes a hard look at this revolution-in-the-making and some of the personalities behind it. Line drawings.
