Hi, Some of you might remember last Dec there was a message on the list asking for people to come forward for a book called "24 Hours in Cyberspace". The book is now out; I've just got a copy and it is well worth a look - an excellent way of seeing the human side of the Internet. Its going to be useful to me when trying to convince people that the Internet is about people, not computers. You can see their web site at http://www.Cyber24.com/ and you can order the book for $39.99 from Amazon books (http://www.amazon.com) or your favourite on line book store. For those of you without web access, the important details are: >Authors: Rick Smolan (Editor), Jennifer Erwitt (Creator) >Bk&Cd Rom Edition, Hardcover >List: $49.99 -- Amazon.com Price: $39.99 -- You Save: $10.00(20%) >Published by Que Corp >Publication date: October 1, 1996 >Dimensions (in inches): 11.41 X 10.01 X 1.07 >ISBN: 0789709252 Here's a write up from the web site: --------------- 24 Hours in Cyberspace, the new book by Rick Smolan, creator of the "Day in the Life..." series, involved the talents of over 150 top photojournalists who fanned out across the globe to document a typical day in Cyberspace creating a "digital time capsule" of the people whose lives are being touched by the online revolution. The goal of the 24 Hours in Cyberspace project was not only to highlight the technology, but also to show the effect it's having on human culture around the world. The book also contains a free CD-ROM which holds the entire Web site, with three times as many pictures as in the book, as well as a "Nightline" video, free software and demonstrations. In addition, printed on the end pages of the book are the names of the 40,000 people around the world who took the time to sign their names and their children's names on the walls of our "Digital Cave" on February 8th. Cyberspace is one of the most talked-about and least-understood topics in the world this year. Yet to anyone who hasn't been online, it's incredibly difficult to explain. "24 Hours" set out to capture and illustrate the human face of Cyberspace. "24 Hours in Cyberspace will give the viewer goosebumps, bring tears to their eyes and make people laugh." --------------- Enjoy.....
