As someone interested in representations of sexuality amongst the world wide web, this was definitely interesting to read. It is, of course, outdated in a way that would remove its value from this being an introduction to gender and sexuality amongst the internet to maybe a current college student. I also find this to definitely be a read that is less critical than what I anticipated. I wanted to read more arguments critiques of the internet as a platform for sexual expression that involves an understanding of the internet as a component of capitalism.
3.5 stars if I could choose halves.
