Reviews

'Going against all easy celebrations of an Internet culture without authority or power structures, Cyberchiefs offers an important and relevant account of the innovations in forms of authority expressed by the social dynamics of Internet group formations.' Tiziana Terranova, associate professor of Sociology of Communications and Cultural Studies at the University of Naples 'L'Orientale'and author of Network Culture: Politics for the Information Age (Pluto Press, 2004).
