hi gang,
correct me if I am wrong but didnt Gibson, when he created the word "cyberspace", define it as "a consensual hallucination experienced daily by legitimate operators".
Eero, that is a good way out of this strange discussion we were having.... but to this particular argument... yes you are right. this is what Gibson said... but that does not mean that we were "hallucinating about Cyberspace", but debating the idea of "Cyberspace as a hallucination"... and this is something different... why.. well see all the postings and esp. Don Slaters one.. best nilz ps. I hope to see you in Sussex, maybe for the roundtable on space for a longer discussion... -- Dr. Nils Zurawski Universität Hamburg Inst. für kriminologische Sozialforschung Allendeplatz 1 20146 Hamburg Germany tel. +49 (0) 40 42838 6185 fax. +49 (0) 40 42838 2328 Projekt zu Videoüberwachung: http://www.uni-muenster.de/PeaCon/zurawski/ueberwachung
