The pearly gates of cyberspace: A history of space from Dante to the internet

"THE PEARLY GATES OF CYBERSPACE is a masterly exploration of the geography of space, a subtly argued remonstration against the totalizing ways of science that is lent essential authority by Wertheim's effortless command of vastly difficult subjects. From the immobility of the Aristotelian universe to the intricacies of 11-dimensional hyperspace to the packet-switching routers of the Internet, Wertheim leads the reader on a riveting quest."Margaret Wertheim is the author of 'The pearly gates of cyberspace: A history of space from Dante to the internet', published 1999 under ISBN 9780868247441 and ISBN 0868247448.
