[1]: 217–218  Digital Web explores those mages called Cybernauts who use the internet as a manifestation of magic power.

[3] Digital Web was originally designed by Daniel Greenberg, Harry Heckel, and Darren McKeemen, with additional material provided by John Cooper, Jonathan Sill, Heather Curatola, Lee Chen, Bill Bridges, Brian Campbell, and Brad Freeman.

The book was illustrated by James Crabtree, Darryl Elliot, Joshua Gabriel Timbrook, Quinton Hoover, and Dan Smith, with cover art by John Zeleznik.

[3][6] Rick Swan of Dragon called the premise of Digital Web "audacious", saying that it "reshapes cyberpunk like so much modeling clay."

But despite this, Swan found the book "hard to digest [...] the text is burdened with overstuffed sentences [...] and saturated with gobbledygook."
