Review:
Your humble reviewer must abjectly admit to prejudice in delaying the review of the second edition of this book. The first edition was highly promoted and of questionable value. While this second version follows the same structure and contains much of the same material, the additions make it an almost completely different work. Unless the reader is quite dedicated, the thicker volume is no longer in the "read it in one sitting" class. The increase in usefulness and accuracy, though, is well worth it. The smaller "Zen and the Art of the Internet" (see reviews) will provide a somewhat faster start, and Comer's authoritative "The Internet Book" gives more insightful background, but "The Internet Comp...

Review:
The cover blurbs, as usual, overstate how much "free" stuff you get, and how unique this package is, but Harrison has put together a very practical kit. The disk included with the book contains the Cello World Wide Web browser, WS_FTP, WinQVT/Net ... and Trumpet Winsock, to make it all work. All of these programs are available from the net, so their inclusion with the book is simply a convenience. In works of this type, the authors often do little more than regurgitate the documentation. Harrison does more.

Review:
Stefik's basic premise is simple: the way we think about the Internet -- the mental symbols we use to represent its nature and purpose -- will determine what the Internet will become. He's gathered the writings of some of the most insightful and creative writers dealing with our growing global infrastructure to examine the ways we consider the Net and what that means for our future. The essays are as readable as they are thought-provoking, and Stefik's surrounding commentaries bind the diverse works into a whole.
