Entertainment Weekly

Refreshingly concise . . . A must-have for content providers and an enlightenment for those simply curious about the state of language.

Library Journal

Everyone today is traveling the information superhighway, surfing the net, sending and receiving E-mail, and creating a homepage. Along with the digital revolution come big changes in our language and word usage. The editors of Wired magazine take up these changes in this product of their new publishing division. The work looks at how the digital age has changed the way we write; it sets out to give a new set of rules to use along with Elements of Style and The Chicago Manual of Style. A large part of the book is lists of words and acronyms with definitions, e.g., "IRLin real lifeOnline shorthand. All caps." The book looks like the magazine without the color; the binding is hardcover with concealed wire-o and slipcase. This interesting, artful, and inexpensive edition will find a niche in most collections. Lisa J. Cihlar, Winfield P. L., Ill.
