This book about America's romance with computer communication looks at the internet, not as harbinger of the future or the next big thing, but as an expression of the times. Streeter demonstrates that our ideas about what connected computers are for have been in constant flux since their invention. In the 1950s they were imagined as the means for fighting nuclear wars, in the 1960s as systems for bringing mathematical certainty to the messy complexity of social life, in the 1970s as countercultural playgrounds, in the 1980s as an icon for what's good about free markets, in the 1990s as a new frontier to be conquered and, by the late 1990s, as the transcendence of markets in an anarchist open source utopia. The Net Effect teases out how culture has influenced the construction of the internet and how the structure of the internet has played a role in cultures of social and political thought. It argues that the internet's real and imagined anarchic qualities are not a product of the technology alone, but of the historical peculiarities of how it emerged and was embraced. Finding several different traditions at work in the development of the internet - most uniquely, romanticism - Streeter demonstrates how the creation of technology is shot through with profoundly cultural forces - with the deep weight of the remembered past, and the pressures of shared passions made articulate.
作者简介托马斯•斯特里特（Thomas Streeter），曾任美国佛蒙特大学社会学系教授，现任加拿大韦仕敦大学教授，研究领域包括媒体、技术、法律及文化，先后编著有Selling the Air（1996），Mousepads, Shoe Leather, and Hope（2007）。
斯特里特认为文化信念在形塑当代制度、财产、法规、技术的过程中，发挥独立的作用。从20世纪的广播网到21世纪的互联网，对新技术系统的接纳与使用，甚至系统本身的构成，不只受到经济等结构因素影响，同时亦受到文化趋势与信念惯习的影响。因此，新技术本身可以被人的观念改变。
斯特里特近期的研究项目针对美国1980年至今的日常法律实践中，由印刷文件归档转为电子文件归档带来的影响。
