Features: A new technological revolution is unfolding, and in the words of its proponents, it will redefine the very concept of "human." Face-to-face communication will soon become a relic of the past as we turn to computers to seek information, entertainment, friends—even love. Is this science fiction? No, it is the beautiful new landscape envisioned by digital pioneers and computer crusaders. They are launching a high-tech offensive against what is perceived as reality. Astute, financially backed, ruthless, they wield power, high technology, and sharp market vision to fulfill their ambitious prophecies. In this book, Mark Slouka describes the future of cyberspace from an interesting yet unsettling humanistic perspective.
