But as science commentator Margaret Wertheim argues in this
"marvelously provocative" (Kirkus Reviews) book, cyberspace has in
recent years become a repository for immense spiritual yearning.
Wertheim explores the mapping of spiritual desire onto digitized
space and suggests that the modem today has become a metaphysical
escape-hatch from a materialism that many people find increasingly
dissatisfying. Cyberspace opens up a collective space beyond the
laws of physics a space where mind rather than matter reigns. This
strange refuge returns us to an almost medieval dualism between a
physical space of body and an immaterial space of mind and psyche."
