"In "Online a Lot of the Time," Ken Hillis presents a new mode of describing so-called virtual phenomena such as avatars and Web-cam personas. He situates the "reality" of online activity in the broader sphere of social experience and, in so doing, he neatly pulls the carpet out from under the "real" to which the "virtual" is usually contrasted."-- [RR;PP] Jonathan Sterne, author of "The Audible Past: Cultural Origins of Sound Reproduction"
