Series: Sussex Studies in Culture and Communication

Virtual Geographies explores the possibilities and dangers brought by the revolution in communication technologies, outlining how these technologies are being used to produce new geographies and new types of space. The contributors reveal that new communication technologies open up whole new

vistas. Leading contributors drawn from a wide range of disciplines including Geography, Sociology, English and Philosophy investigate how particular visions of cyberspace have

been constructed and articulated through the influence of literature and gender, and how the experience of online interaction is expressed. A scepticism emerges of the consequences of 'cyberspace'. This leads to a critical assessment of the status of virtual environments and geographies, how they interact with more everyday spaces and how they may reshape how we think and write about the world. Virtual Geographies sets recent developments in a more developed historical and geographical context, enabling a clearer assessment

of the possibilities such developments hold for the creation of new spaces of interaction. Ken Hillis, University of North Carolina, USA, Jennifer S. Light, Harvard University, USA, Jeremy Stein, University of Birmingham, UK, Chris Ray and Hilary Talbot, Universi

Reviews for Virtual Geographies: Bodies, Space and Relations

Communication and the social adoption of technology are two issues that have received less attention from geographers than they deserve. This collection provides some valuable insights into both of these topics. . . . [P]rofessors and graduate students in geography will probably find the book of interest . . . if they are interested in technology, communication, or popular culture. - The Annals of the AAG, 04/00
