The last item is a collection of essays, some of the titles of which are as intriguing as that of the work as a whole. For instance: "The canary on the computer," "The interface: slouching toward the future, or, Guess who's coming to dinner?" "Knowbot explorations in similarity space," "Pigs in cyberspace," "Transcendence at the interface: the architecture of cyborg utopia, or, Cyberspace utopoids as postmodern cargo cult," and "Why should I read this? (and who are these people, anyhow?)." --submitted by Brian Kunde Originally published in SUL News Notes, Volume 2, Number 22, June 4, 1993.
