Cyberpower: The Culture and Politics of Cyberspace and the Internet

Rating:
Summary: Accurate projections
Review: Written in 1999, this book has a breezy optimism about the networking power of the Internet, to gather together people of similar political interests. The intervening years have been eventful, and validate a lot of the book's projections.

Smart mobs, to use Howard Rheingold's term, and the increasing visibility of the Internet in this year's US Presidential campaigns suggest that indeed, the Internet is proving a focal point for many activists.
