Greetings, Talking about fictional books, perhaps you might be interested in "Labyrinth of Reflections" by Sergey Lukjanenko. He is Russian author and this book was one of the most popular sf books in Rusia and East Europe. The translation of it into English might be found here: http://www.lib.ru/LUKXQN/labirintengl.txt Best regards Aurelija Dagilyte

Folks, My apologies for crossposting, but this may be fun for some of you:
I'm the Technology and Community subeditor of the Sage Encyclopedia of Community, 4 vols, due out 6/03.
As the final act in its production, we are compiling a list of popular stuff related to community. I'd dearly love to include a bunch related to the Internet. Some categories; Non Fiction Books (I've already put in Rheingold - Virtual Community, 2d ed), Fictional Books (I've already put in Handmaid's Tale, Snowcrash, Neuromancer), Music, Shows, Films.
If you have any ideas, please send them to me. Remember, no technical stuff and no papers.
Thanks, Barry

I liked "The Metaphysical Touch" by Sylvia Brownrigg (1998) Picador USA. There's also a UK edition reprinted in 1999. Best book on Kant and email that I have ever read! Not so much the develoment of a community, but the protagonist does join an online group after her PhD thesis on Kant burns up in the 1994 Berkeley fires. FWIW.
