'This is a book with a mission: to educate people outside Japan in the intricacies of Internet implementation within that country by providing an overview of recent developments...Japan and the Internet Revolution is an interesting read which provides a fascinating and informative discussion of the ways in which the Internet has emerged and then flourished in Japan. I recommend it to anyone interested in the intersections of society, culture and technology, or in developments in contemporary Japan generally. As someone conducting research on the Internet in Japanmyself, I found it a valuable addition to the growing literature on the subject and one which I found engrossing reading.' - Nanette Gottlieb, University of Queensland, Japanese Studies
