This book surveys a ‘cluster’ of works that seek to explore the cultures of

cyberspace, the Internet and the information society. It introduces key

ideas, and includes detailed discussion of the work of two key thinkers in

this area, Manuel Castells and Donna Haraway, as well as outlining the

development of cyberculture studies as a field. To do this, the book also

explores selected ‘moments’ in this development, from the early 1990s,

when cyberspace and cyberculture were only just beginning to come

together as ideas, up to the present day, when the field of cyberculture

studies has grown and bloomed, producing innovative theoretical and

empirical work from a diversity of standpoints. Key topics include:

• life on the screen

• network society

• space of flows

• cyborg methods

Cyberculture Theorists is the ideal starting point for anyone wanting to

understand how to theorize cyberculture in all its myriad forms.

David Bell is Senior Lecturer in Critical Human Geography at the

University of Leeds. Recent publications include The Cybercultures Reader

(2000), An Introduction to Cybercultures (2001) and Cyberculture: The Key

Concepts (2004).
