From August 1995 through April 1996, John Brockman recorded conversations with 36 of the most important architects and developers of today"s cyberspace. Those conversations have been condensed into this book, as Brockman"s "digerati" discuss their work, their visions, and each other. We readers get the joy of listening to these fascinating people speak--sometimes from their well-polished soapboxes and sometimes with their guards down. Many of these people we know from their writings, but there"s a fresh rhythm and excitement to their words when they come from their mouths instead of their word processors.
