Review : Cybersceptics

How much cyberspace owes to its logocentric past is one of the threads that
ties this collection of six essays together. Refreshingly sceptical views about
the importance (or otherwise) of virtual worlds find a home in this good
old-fashioned textbook edited by American academic Robert Markley, Virtual
Realities And Their Discontents (Johns Hopkins Press, £12.50, ISBN 0 8018
5226 9).
