Not so much about the internet but more about computer hacking and espionage, I highly recommend 'The Cuckoo's Egg' by Clifford Stoll.
On another note, it's interesting to explore those elements that are omitted in contemporary writing because they're assumed.
Reflecting on literature, Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice doesn't linger on place/setting in great detail (unless I'm mistaken). It's the context – when it was written – that helps us fill the detail. Such reflection though requires an appreciation for history (even if the work is fiction).
