Cyberspace is a late 20th-century word for a world of information accessible via computer technology. Limited only by our imagination and the interface between ourselves and the machine, cyberspace can be all things to all people - a world of fantasy, "virtual reality' meetings, Big Brother data bases or a global social network. This book traces the development of the communications technologies which have led to the cybernetic revolution. It describes the growth of the information industry and points out the social and political implications of identity and control in an electronic world order.
