^ It is only a matter of time…but this isn’t about that…
Cyberspace may even be an altered state of consciousness, a dreamlike world, that addresses a basic human need to experience oneself and reality from a different perspective. It is psychological space that becomes an extension of one's conscious and unconscious mind . We could even imagine the global network that comprises the whole internet as a larger transcending mind or "self" which reflects the evolution of human consciousness. The first conscious machine maybe not come as a stand-alone HAL 9000, but as the internet-mind. A grandiose, but conceivable thought!
Much as I loath the term 'cyberspace' this is actually a pretty interesting html book. It looks at all sorts of areas of the internet and analysis the people who occupy those areas…If only I had the time (and patience) to read it all.
