Summary

Written by highly respectable authors, this book examines the link between health and identity, and cybercultural identity. The medicalization of many aspects of social life, from childbirth to diet to housing, has become more and more apparent at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The involvement of ?cyberspace? in this new medicalized world is significant; as medical advice and medication is now easily available on the Internet, e-communities of sufferers and users abound. However the relationship between health, medicalization, cyberculture, the body and identity has been little explored. This book explores these complex social interactions and addresses topical issues, looking at specific aspects such as reproductive rights and technologies, gender and sexuality, cyber identity and non-humanness.
