The Kinder Gap
- Boys in the Virtual Attic
- During Aerosmith’s World Tour of Cyberspace, I managed one of the auditoriums. The auditorium fell to dust twice during the event. It took me far less than three days to rebuild it.
- English Addicts and Saudi Gamers
- The electronic frontier expands our circle of contacts far beyond our physical world.
- The Joy of Publishing
- Freedom of the press belongs to those who own one. A computer is a press, and the Internet is a delivery truck going straight to twenty million doors, and, in the future, every door.
- Brave New Word
- It’s not print that’s dead. It’s printers.
- Exercising Control Through Anarchy
- There is no central control on the net. The only control we have is that which we exercise ourselves.
- Natural Law
- Some truths really are self-evident, and one of those is that people will talk when they want to talk. But what happens when they say it in Texas, live in Canada, and someone in Iran doesn’t like it?
- Culture Shock
- What effects can a global Internet have on an individual’s sense of culture, and what can societies do about it?
- Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
- Cryptography is the assault weapon of the Internet.
- Faceless on the Net
- They’re called ‘anonymous remailers’, and they allow people to write letters and post articles without revealing their identity. Or at least, that’s the idea. The general consensus is that they aren’t very secure, but they say a lot about the culture of the Highway.
- The Underground Highway
- The Internet is not the only international decentralized computer network.
- Cerebus the Gopher
- Cerebus the Gopher is my personal Internet site, dedicated to comic books, role-playing games, and information about drug prohibition, as well as a bit of information on gun control and other politics of personal freedom.
- Usenet
- Usenet is the AM radio of the information highway. When people talk about the discussion groups on the net, they’re usually talking about Usenet.
- What About Alt.Sex?
- Happiness is a warm puppy.
- alt.fan.oj-simpson.die.die.die
- As uncontrolled as Usenet is, the ‘alt’ discussion groups take anarchy to new heights—or lows.
- The City of God
- Will the infobahn bring people together in peace, or in war? Will the global village be utopia, or Bosnia?
- Say You Want a Revolution?
- What is all this talk about revolution on the net?
- Cybercash
- There are those who claim that we are very close to throwing out paper money entirely. How does electronic cash fit into the information highway?
- You’re Paying For It, Sucker
- Just what does this ‘highway’ metaphor mean, anyway?
- The Generation Gap
- As technological change speeds up, the generation gap deepens into a full-blown cultural war.
- The Pinball Wizard
- Game companies have more money than researchers. Children’s toys have always been on the cutting edge of computers, and remain on the cutting edge of the Internet.
