Given how much has changed about the internet since this book was published most all of the information is out of date, and little if any of the predictions Rushkoff made came true. However, there is still a lot of interesting people groups talked about in this book.

Amazing book! In my opinion THE manifiesto of cyberculture.
Mixes technology with philosophy, religion, drugs, rpg games and art.

Very interesting style of writing. Mixes facts and reality with fiction.

I really wanted to like this book, but for some reason it annoyed the fuck out of me. The part about the girl having an abortion on LSD was pretty cool though.

More about raving than computers. Now, while raving was a grand ol' time back in the late 90's, I can't support poor bookcovering.
