In "Spirit Of The Web," Canadian technology and science writer Wade Rowland has written a surprisingly readable book that puts the Information Age in some historical context and traces the human and spiritual origins of the Web, from smoke signals to the computer.

<a href="mailto:tyger@hoopes.com">Duncan Lawie</a>, our resident science fiction book reviewer takes a look at John Brunner's <cite>The Shockwave Rider</cite> this week. The book centers on a near future world where access to data means power - sounds like it's taken from today's headlines.

Returning with another science fiction review, <a href="mailto:tyger@hoopes.com">Duncan Lawie</a> takes a look at <i>Revelation Space</i>. Written by Alastair Reynolds, this is the author's first book length effort - and it looks good.

Are you an "isolate?"
In <i>Disconnected,</i> University of Wisconsin computing professor William Wresch takes a look at the cultural divide between the information haves and have-nots of the world, from workers in Namibia to tribesmen in the Kalihari to isolates in America who, despite lots of technology, choose to stand apart from their peers and organizations. He makes an interesting case for the idea that access to information may ultimately have more to do with divisions in the world than nationalism, ethnicity or geography.<p>

<i>Hackers</i> is probably the first book I read that made me think of computers as the substrate of a social world rather than just boxes with lights. The book came out in 1984, though, and a lot's changed since then. Read on, as <a href=mailto:topeka@catchen.org>topeka</a> lets you know how well Levy's techno opus has aged. <p>

Jon Lasser is the author of <cite>ThinkUnix</cite> a new learning UNIX/how-to. While <a href="http://www.dannyreviews.com">Danny Yee</a> of <a href="http://www.dannyreviews.com">dannyreviews</a> actually wrote the review, I've read the book as well. It's good -- it's different from other learning Unix books because he really wants you to learn the concepts behind Unix -- to grok it.

In <i>Technoromanticism</i>, a University of Edinburgh architect agrees that the computer may represent the pinnacle of scientific and technological acheivement, but, he argues, some of the most revolutionary ideas surrounding cyberspace are grounded in old movements like the Enlightenment, something techies tend to forget. Warning: This is heavy-handed academic writing but with a fascinating premise.<p>
