Synopsis
The title is a bit misleading: the discussion is not how to do social science on the Internet, but how to research social interactions that are mediated by information and communications technologies. Social scientists in Europe, North America, and Korea present case studies and reviews that explore methodological solutions to some of the new questions being asked in the age of distance interaction. The 14 studies are revised from presentations at a series of seminars in universities in southern England from 2001 to 2003. Distributed in the US by Palgrave Macmillan.
