The Institute of Idea's mission is to expand the boundaries of public debate through organising conferences, discussions and salons, and publishing written conversations and exchanges. They hope to play a part in shaking up a culture that seems to shy away more and more from confrontation and the clash of ideas.
The 'Debating Matters' series reflects their commitment to this project. It is hoped that the reader will find the arguments in these pages stimulating, thought-provoking, and a spur to carrying on the debate long after they have closed the book.
Over the last decade, the Internet has become part of everyday life. Along with the benefits however, come fears of unbridled hate speech and pornography. More profoundly, perhaps there is a worry that virtual relationships will replace the real thing, creating a sterile, soulless society. How much is the Internet changing the world.
Contrasting answers are provided in this book by a number of experts.
