Dear Greg: I would love to contribute to a special issue on the topic of "space" and the creation of space. I have a piece ready, currently called "Space and Cyberspace: Stalking the Transcendental Path." The method is critical philosophy, using a Kantian perspective. Thank you for your time.

Hi, Greg. I've submitted a proposal for AOIR, entitled "The Myth of the Global: Imagined Geographies of Cyberspace," and am in the process of completing the article that this paper will be drawn from. In it, as a means of interrogating the treatment of "space" in cyberculture theory, with particular interest in that theory's relationship to processes of globalization, I begin by tracing postmodernism's obsessions with mapping and relating those to more recent, more explicitly geographical considerations of network cartographies. All this theoretical and critical background is accompanied by readings of the work of William Gibson and Neal Stephenson, particularly as they develop and alter their understandings of cyberspace from their early novels (Neuromancer and Snow Crash) through their more recent fiction (Pattern Recognition and Cryptonomicon). I'd be happy to send you a more formal proposal for this article, or the article itself once it's completed, if you're interested. I'd also be happy to send on any other information you might require. Thanks for considering this special issue; I think it's a worthy topic, and one that demands a deeper critical treatment.
