Profibus: A Pocket Guide Book

Wallace here presents the fundamentals of human interactions in cyberspace in an easy-to-understand language for Psychology minors (like me). This well written and concise book shows clearly how the internet and us exist in a mutually re-enforcing lock-in relation. 'Cyberhood' is fed by (& it in turn feeds our) inborn narcissistic and hedonistic tendencies. However, our online interactions have gone beyond MultiUser Dungeons (MUDs), Asynchronous Discussion groups and even Synchronous text based chat environments. True to Moore's Law developments in the social technology (that the internet has turned to be), has outpaced the Psychologist's ability to keep track with the ever-evolving human behaviour online.
Though the true impact of Social media and the many micro blogging services the internet churns out every day is barely touched in Wallace's work, 'The Psychology of the Internet' gives both reader and researcher not only the basics to build on, but also an orbed view of the internet as it affects our behavioural patterns. Great book.
