Hi, Mr. Rushkoff,

Many years ago I read Cyberia, and it was of great influence to me. Thank you for writing this book.

I would like to ask your opinion about the current culture of rage and anger online. A common mode of manifesting preoccupation has become anger, and its expressions online have become extreme to the point of pouring themselves onto the offline world. Could this culture of rage be controlled through content management, as some companies may have attempted, or through general education campaigns (via the school system, for instance)? Alternatively, are these expressions of anger inherent to the online experience and little can be done to control them?
