Electronic Tribes: The Virtual Worlds of Geeks, Gamers, Shamans, and Scammers

Book Title :Electronic Tribes: The Virtual Worlds of Geeks, Gamers, Shamans, and Scammers

Whether people want to play games and download music, engage in social networking and professional collaboration, or view pornography and incite terror, the Internet provides myriad opportunities for people who share common interests to find each other. The contributors to this book argue that these selfselected online groups are best understood as tribes, with many of the same ramifications, both positive and negative, that tribalism has in the noncyber world. In "Electronic Tribes", the authors of sixteen competitively selected essays provide an uptotheminute look at the social uses and occasional abuses of online communication in the new media era.They explore many current Internet subcultures, including MySpace.com, craftster.org, massively multiplayer online roleplaying games (MMORPGs) such as World of Warcraft, music downloading, white supremacist and other counterculture groups, and Nigerian email scams. Their research raises compelling questions and some remarkable answers about the reallife social consequences of participating in electronic tribes. Collectively, the contributors to this book capture a profound shift in the way people connect, as communities formed by geographical proximity are giving way to communities both online and offline formed around ideas.
