Description and Table of Contents

Description

Millions of people worldwide now interact via computers, often assuming personalities of their own creation, but what are the psychological effects of such game playing? This book examines the wonders and dangers of virtual interaction and the profound impact it has on our lives. The author argues that what is emerging is a new sense of identity, one which is de-centred and multiple.
