The Internet
An Ethnographic Approach

by Daniel Miller and Don Slater
University of London


Out June 2000

(Oxford: Berg)

On the basis of perhaps the first regional study of the Internet, this book challenges concepts of virtual reality. Instead, it investigates how the Internet has become part of people's lives - from the middle class to squatters, from popular culture to ecommerce in Trinidad. Clearly written for the non-specialist reader, it offers a detailed account of the complex integration between on-line and off-line worlds.
