Posting History
AbstractCybermind is an Internet mailing list, originally founded in 1994 to discussthe issues and problems of living online. It proved exceptionally fertile andis still going strong thirteen years later.This book is an ethnographic investigation which follows Cybermind members intheir daily lives on the List, and explores the ways they look at the world,argue, relate online life to offline life, use gender, and build community.Perhaps the most comprehensive history of an Internet group ever published, itincludes detailed analyses using List members own words and commentary, anddevelops a unique theory of the relationship between culture, the problems ofcommunication, and the ongoing processes of categorisation._ Living onCybermind_ illustrates how behaviour is affected by the organisation ofcommunication, and how people deal with the paradoxes involved in resolvingambiguity and truth in a situation in which presence is always on the verge ofslipping away.
