Online diaries soon caught the attention of the media with the publication of the book 24 Hours in Cyberspace (1996) which captured personal profiles of the people involved in early web pages. The earliest book-length scholarly discussion of online diaries is Philippe Lejeune's Cher écran, ("Dear Screen", not yet translated into English).

24 Hours in Cyberspace
By Rick Smolan and Jennifer Erwitt
Reviewed by Harrison M.
Have you ever dreamt of going around the world in twenty-four hours? In the book 24 Hours in Cyberspace by Rick Smolan and Jennifer Erwitt that very dream can come true. Within the book you witness a day different people’s lives.
24 Hours in Cyberspace was a book filled with pictures and information about the picture but no picture was twenty-four hours younger or older than any other. The book made you feel that you were experiencing a very special moment, a once in a life time moment, especially if you were not born in the moment in time when these pictures were taken. The 24-hour theme made the book very unique because it highlighted the many things that can take place in twenty-four hours.
The publication was written in a very special way because it has several photos. The authors were very wise in not putting to many pictures that would bore the reader to death. The writers were sensible in choosing the 200 photos of importance.
I liked that the book was written with freedom of speech. The writers were not dictated upon what or what not to have in the book. The producers voiced their opinions and allowed others to do so as well.
Rick Smolan made some very bad choices though with some of his topics. 200,000 photos were taken for the book and Smolan had the choice of using 199,800 other photos but he instead chose to use one that involved a self proclaimed Gypsy princess.
I deeply respect the producer’s organization skills and that he could become a great muse. He did a great job representing a variety of regions in the world accurately. I admire the fact that the producer challenged himself and didn’t generalize the book on one location.
The authors did a great job evening out the emotions in the occurring events. The book had me all over the place with my emotions, one moment I would be inspired the next I would be saddened and sometimes I would be saddened and inspired.
The book is like a masterpiece and when reading it you will be overwhelmed with the amount of work put into this book. Rick Smolan and Jennifer Erwitt put a tremendous amount of work on 24 Hours in Cyberspace. It is a book for all, young, old, bored, and the plain out bookworms.
