Chinese Summary/中文概要： 網路成為滿足我們即時慾望的幻象世界，我們是否會陷入 作者Lee Siegel提出網路的影響，它的負面作用對文化、政治，尤其是人類自我認識的衝擊。
網路無處不在，我們幾乎可以用它完成生活所需一切：閱讀、遊戲、社交、購物、戀愛，它不僅重新塑造日常生活的形形色色，也重新定義未來時代的思想和文化。網路世界甚至已經改變了個人隱私的概念，人類隱私可以隨時供人品評或非議。
網路技術企業的大佬總是高掛自由的大旗，模糊商業和文化的界限，將我們一步步拉入幻想的世界，似乎一時間滿足個人的慾望，但卻正好迎合了科技機器所需。作者提出網路如果超出了工具的意義，人類便將終在其中迷失自己。(CL)

使人類迷失方向的網路世界
Siegel, a controversial former NewRepublic.com blogger and past Slate.com art critic, provides a fascinating look at how the Internet is reshaping the way we think about ourselves and the world. Siegel explores how the Internet affects culture and social life, particularly the psychological, emotional and social cost of high-tech solitude. Arguing that the Internet’s widespread anonymity eliminates boundaries, Siegel discusses the half-fantasy, half-realism of online personas. Internet pornography, Siegel intones, collapses public and private, transforming others into the instrument of the viewer’s will. By experiencing virtual selves rather than other individuals, a danger arises: people run the risk of being reduced to personas that other Internet users manipulate toward their own ends. Insightful and well written with convincing evidence to support Siegel’s polemic, this book is a welcome addition to the debate on the personal ramifications of living in a wired world.
