N2  - "The Virtual Self is a concise, critical introduction to social life in an age of rapid technology and high-speed communication. It addresses a fundamental question of our time: is contemporary society significantly different from the society that formed the theories and basic concepts of the founders of sociology?" "Written in a lively, accessible style, The Virtual Self presumes no sociological background and cites ample literature for further reference. Students and scholars will find it an engaging and exciting text."--BOOK JACKET
