Cyberculture is an ever‐changing concept, which is increasingly dominating modern society. This entry aims to shed some light on the contemporary meaning of this omnipresent term, whilst also drawing on some of its roots. The subject of cyberculture is of great interest for sociologists, computer scientists, and scholars in several other fields; the main themes of cyberculture explored in this entry are the creation of virtual communities, community networks, and virtual identities. The entry concludes with an emerging field of cyberculture study concerning the creation of a new political economy, which separates those with or without access to and knowledge of cyberspace – another layer of growing inequality within society
