E-Links
One of the significant features of the book (published in 2001 before the September 11 attacks and around the time of the dot-com bubble) is the inclusion of the e-Links section at the end of every chapter. Each e-Link is given as a URL, followed by a short text of one or two lines to describe the content. For example, at the end of Chapter 6 "The Politics of the Internet II: Privacy and Liberty in Cyberspace", a collection of 4 e-Links is given:
- cnetdownload.com
- junkbusters.com
- silentsurf.com
- anonymizer.com
and the short explanatory text following is "Websites providing technological resources to protect privacy."
There is one major flaw associated with the e-Links. None of the e-Links in The Internet Galaxy provide "the date of last access".
