This podcast is excerpts from the chapter, “Exploring Virtual Community”, chapter eight, from Douglas Groothuis, The Soul in Cyberspace (Baker, 1997). I have added some commentary along the way.

1. The need for civility
2. Computers, love. and community
3. “On the Internet, nobody knows you are a dog.”
4. Cyberspace, Sensibilities, and Community

On the philosophy of the Internet, see also Quentin Schulz, Habits of the High Tech Heart. On the philosophy of technology in general, see Neil Postman, Technopoly.
