Michele - I still think Sylvia Brownrigg's _the metaphysical touch: a novel_ (1998) deserves a look in. Easy to read, talks of the deeper issues, includes a nice email transcription amongst a group that id's themselves only as dead poets. No cyberfiction in it at all. But a nice story of a PhD student who had her house burn down in Berkeley with all of her PhD stuff in it. Come to think if it, a bit nightmarish for those of us writing a thesis. But as I have said here before: best book on Kant and email that I have ever read. Denise ===== "The distance between here and there is growing; and getting even larger as we speak" (S. S.
