Navigating the Murky Waters of Modern Cyber Evil

The online world invites users to navigate its many crooked convolutions that weave complex webs of images and captions, stories and snippets. While these seemingly endless rabbit-holes can provide distraction or satiate curiosity, increasingly, the internet invites platforms and sites that perpetuate ridicule, harm, and damaging repute. Rooted in the emerging nexus between rhizome theory, semiotic analysis, and critical legal studies, the Handbook on Cyber Hate, the Modern Cyber Evil, edited by Anne Wagner and Sarah Marusek, gathers formative insight into recognizing and combatting online hate with 27 chapters representing scholars from Italy, China, Poland, Colombia, USA, Russia, Canada, Monaco, Sweden, Australia, Austria, Portugal, the UK, Macau, Ireland, Cyprus and France. As we slog through the cyber trenches of mal-intent and malevolence, we hope this volume will help to illuminate these darkened corners to weed out the destructive elements of the modern cyber evil.
