Sociology in the Age of the Internet is essential reading for academics and students with an interest in the relationship between the internet and society.

For the student new to the study of technology and society, there are a bewildering array of claims and counter claims, representing a spectrum of theoretical, methodological and critical sensibilities in relation to the Internet. In this new book Allison Cavanagh evaluates the work in this area by:

-Investigating the novelty of the Internet and setting the Internet in the context of communication histories

-Evaluating the extent and rate of change through a synthesis of the available empirical literature

-Providing a key to understanding the changes identified through an evaluation of the utility of new social theory
