When I was a philosophy student I was marked down for wrongly answering the
question "Can you read tomorrow's newspaper today?"
And then there's Rimbaud's remark: "...and sometimes I have seen what men
imagined they saw!"
Conundrums like that are as nothing to the intrepid cybernaut: in the
strange world of cyberspace you can read issues of Jacket magazine that
aren't even due for publication until the end of the year. Jacket # 15 is
under construction, and will be complete in December 2001. In the meantime
you can read these items, at
