The line between truth and fiction is blurred on the Net, just as it is in Hollywood, and so are the scandals involving well-known movie and TV personalities, politicians, and the Internet's own brand of celebrities. The battle between illusion and reality is every bit as intense on the Internet as on the celluloid screen. Going beyond sites that glorify the seamier side to life, <i>Internet Babylon</i> is a guide to the unique sites that appeal to selective sensibilities.</p> <p><i>Internet Babylon</i> gives you the ability to live vicariously through and be a participant in extraordinary, even strange, goings-on that you might never otherwise encounter in your day-to-day life. Youll not only find entertaining and titillating stories that define the rough and wild side of a major force in society thats still developing, but youll also discover the tools you need to be on top of breaking stories and find the news thats not fit to print.</p> 3857462 2004 Internet Babylon: Secrets, Scandals, and Shocks on the Information Superhighway total:1|5:1| 1 5 1 0 3813190 1590592999 9781590592991 1 0 5.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3813190.Internet_Babylon_Secrets_Scandals_and_Shocks_on_the_Information_Superhighway 5 0 false Thu Aug 26 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Sat Jul 19 16:45:16 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 17:51:19 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3813190
