Summary: Things don't have to be the way they are. Starting from this simple premise, Lee Siegel completely reor:ients our understanding of the Web-lookirig at it not only as a technological tool of enormous promise but as the driving force behind an unprecedented transformation of human values and cultural ideals. Wh~ther you're a businessperson who needs to understand the Web on a deeper level, or one of the vast crowd who relies on the Web every day to work, play, shop, debate, or find love, Siegel's illuminating perspective will force even the most jaded Web denizen to consider the Internet in an entirely new way.
