Book Reviews of Issues in Cyberspace
Book Review: A Review by Daphne Baylor Dean and Kevin Yeoman
Summary: 4 Stars
Like most things in life this book had several good and bad aspects. We really enjoyed the diverse topics that the author explored. He wrote in depth on issues ranging from new media technologies, e-commerce, and privacy to hacking, copyright issues and indecencies. All these issues brought about some very thought provoking inquires for us as readers. We also appreciated the book's anti-commercialization stance on cyberspace. In contrast, one major drawback is the means by which the author heavily intertwined legal issues in every chapter of the book. People without a high interest for law may not appreciate the author's expertise in the field of law. Overall, we thought this book would be worth reading for anyone interested in cyberworld issues.
