Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Beckmann examines the role that computers play in the methods used by architects, designers, and artists in order to conceptualize and represent space, topology, and virtual communities. This collection of interdisciplinary essays studies the implications of "going virtual" from a variety of cultural and theoretical viewpoints.

Includes bibliographical references.
