Cyberfutures: Culture and Politics on the Information Superhighway (with Jerome R. Ravetz)

The colonisation of cyberspace has been accompanied by the expected flood of travelogues and theme-park literature. In Cyberfutures contributors from around the world, with a variety of viewpoints, provide a reflective, critical perspective on the cultural and political dimensions to this colonisation. The unifying theme is the complexity and unpredictability of cyberspace: radical innovations in technique and consciousness will occur within a framework defined by the ongoing relationship between power and domination.

For all those wearied by the current mixture of glossy gadgeteering and occasional media panics, Cyberfutures offers an independent understanding of the fateful new developments in our technological civilisation.
