Ideal for use as a core or secondary text in lower division social

inequalities or social problems courses, this book explains how the

changing nature and uses of the Internet not only mirror today’s social

inequalities, but are also at the heart of how stratification is now taking

place. A pioneering work, both intellectually and pedagogically.
