Full Description
In Deeper, John Seabrook, a staff writer for the New Yorker, takes us along his personal journey down the information highway. In the beginning of this pioneering adventure into cyberspace, our hero (seabrook) is a clueless newbie. He ends up an old hand, complete with arrow wounds to show off. When Seabrook is not narrating his own on-line adventures, he is writing an eyewitness history of a tumultuous period in the early history of a new medium, when the Net moved decisively from a geeky hobby to a part of mainstream popular culture. We meet major figures in the computer industry, catch the utopian feeling, get flamed, get laid, soar over the Net like Satan soaring over the Earth in Paradise Lost, join a virtual community and find out what daily life is like, lose the utopian feeling, adapt to the World Wide Web, and build a Web site.
