Christian,

Crang, M., Crang, P. and May, J. (1999) Virtual Geographies. Routledge,
London.
Kitchin, R. (1998) Cyberspace: The World in the Wires. John Wiley,
Chichester.
Special issue of Geographical Review last year, and the 2 articles by
Hillis and Kitchin in Progress in Human Geography.
I think there is to be a new specialty group of the Ass. Amer. Geographers
concerning virtual geographies, which certainly has a critical angle.

>A few day ago I found an interesting article about "Cybergeography" in a
german magazine. When reading the article it seemed to me that
cybergeography is a very traditional geography as it produces maps of POPs,
maps of cables, maps of information-flows ... Is cybergeography really only
some kind of mapping the information society? How about the influence of
the "cyberspace" on social life and the existing (real!) spatial structure
surrounding us?
