Computers have changed not just the way we work but the way we love. Falling in

and out of love, flirting, cheating, even having sex online have all become part

of the modern way of living and loving. Yet we know very little about these new

types of relationship. How is an online affair where the two people involved may

never see or meet each other different from an affair in the real world? Is

online sex still cheating on your partner? Why do people tell complete strangers

their most intimate secrets? What are the rules of engagement? Will online

affairs change the monogamous nature of romantic relationships? These are just

some of the questions Professor Aaron Ben Ze'ev, distinguished writer and

academic, addresses in the first full length study of Love Online. Accessible,

shocking, entertaining, enlightening, this book will change the way you look at

cyberspace and love forever.
