Matt, A good question. I don't know about "canonical," but here are several older collections I'd add to the list. I'd be interested in seeing your compiled list when it's done. James Brook & Ian Boal (eds.), Resisting the Virtual Life: The Culture and Politics of Information (City Lights Press, 1995). Cynthia Haynes & Jan Rune Holmevik (eds.), High Wired: On the Design, Use, and Theory of Educational MOOs (U of Michigan P, 1998). Patricia Sullivan & Jennie Dautermann (eds.), Electronic Literacies in the Workplace (NCTE and Computers and Composition, 1996). Stuart C. Selber (ed.), Computers and Technical Communication (Ablex/ATTW Studies in Technical Communication, 1997). Jennifer Terry & Melodie Calvert (eds.), Processed Lives: Gender and Technology in Everyday Life (Routledge, 1997). --> not about the Internet, but an important work on technology and gender * Any of several co-edited collection edited by Gail Hawisher & Cynthia Selfe, including Global Literacies and the World Wide Web (Routledge, 1999) and Passions, Pedagogies, and 21st-Century Technologies (Utah State University Press, 1999).

Okay folks,
Here's a question for the scholars among us.
What would you consider to be the canonical anthologies in Internet studies or cyberculture studies? I think there are a fair amount of individual books that would make it to this list, but what about anthologies? These latter publications often serve as a "state of the state" when they are published. Which ones would you suggest form the basis for Internet studies?
