In some of the the various reviewers over the years of my book on _Cyborgs@Cyberspace?_ (Routledge 1999) have taken up my attempt to "realm" research on the social correlates of digital technologies. While there is now much more data, people sometimes still seem to think my efforts there to provide an integrated framework for this research still has some merit.

In terms of the internet/flesh "realms" issue - this is something I'm going to working on quite a bit I hope, and I discuss it in some detail in "Rethinking Digital Anthropology" (In Digital Anthropology. Heather A. Horst and Daniel Miller, editors. Pp. 39? 60. London: Berg, 2012.)

There's been a lot written and researched on this already. But the issue keeps coming on. (I really wish scholarship were more cumulative.)
In addition to the items posted in the previous AoIR list, may I suggest
Nathan Jurgenson's theoretical essays on "digital dualism", such as http://thesocietypages.org/cyborgology/2011/09/13/digital-dualism-and-the-fa...
The Rainie-Wellman _Networked_ book, especially Part II http://www.amazon.com/Networked-New-Social-Operating-System/dp/0262017199/re...
which itself picks up on writing I've done for 15 years, such as
"An Electronic Group is Virtually a Social Network" "Physical Place and Cyber Place: The Rise of Personalized Networking" ""Personal Relationships: On and Off the Internet" (with Jeff Boase) "Social Connectivity in America" with Hua (Helen) Wang
all get-able on my website http://homes.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman/publications/index.html
Enjoy, Barry Wellman _______________________________________________________________________
