"Alternate Realities," by Harvey Blume (January 13, 2000) Choose your technorealism. William Mitchell's e-topia and Douglas Rushkoff's Coercion take starkly differing views of the Information Age. Plus, interviews with both authors. "The Unacknowledged Legislators of the Digital World," by Charles C. Mann (December 15, 1999) In his new book, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, Lawrence Lessig offers a disconcerting vision of the Net's future. Too disconcerting, objects our reviewer. Plus, an e-mail exchange between Lessig and Atlantic Unbound editor Wen Stephenson.

An assessment of the first-ever Cyberarts Festival in Boston, where art criticism is forced to play catch-up with technology. See the complete Digital Culture index.
