"Here
is the truth: there is no Information Superhighway, though it pretty
much already exists. Consider that a Zen koan."
--
Chapter One
"Moore takes a
self-imposed 'walk in the electronic woods' in a move loosely styled
after Henry David Thoreau's retreat to Walden Pond. Moore's mission:
to get a sense of what the Internet and all the other manifestations
of network communications technology are all about. The result
of Moore's excursion is a read that is refreshingly, deceptively
simple."

The Emperor's Virtual Clothes
|
|
"A
delightful and often funny look at the Internet by a professor of
English who decided to check out the praise and warnings of his
friends. His concern is not with the technology or the mechanics but
with the residents of cyberspace, what they are doing, how they
explain it, and what they are getting and losing from the
experience."
