About the Book

How have our social and cultural perspectives of humanity been influenced by cyberculture? How do our concepts of self and identity change when we interact in cyberspace? How does science fiction reflect or inform our technorganic environment? The increasing human interface with machines is an expanding area of interest for social and cultural theorists and stimulates a socially influential sphere of cultural, political and economic action and interaction. This book generates multiple inquiries into how these technologies influence and/or redesign our social and political landscapes, offering new conceptions of self and community. The chapters that make up this book offer a multidisciplinary survey of just some of the issues and developments humanity's interaction and integration with cyberculture, cyberspace and science fiction can reveal.
