Re. Utopian / Dytopian I am not sure if Pierre Lévy (1999) and his book Collective Intelligence has been already mentioned. In this volume he outlines his vision of a new anthropological space: the knowledge space which is closely related to new media and technologies. There is also an article - in German - of Manfred Kremser dealing with Lévy's anthropological spaces in relation to cyberculture: (1999)CyberAnthropology und die neuen Raeume des Wissens.
