“Cyberspace is the “place” where a telephone conversation appears to occur. Not inside your actual phone, the plastic device on your desk. Not inside the other person’s phone, in some other city. The place between the phones. The indefinite place out there, where the two of you, two human beings, actually meet and communicate.”

From “The Myth of Cyberspace”

Via The New Inquiry

I quite like the simplicity and eloquence of this definition of “Cyberspace.” But I usually defer to Foucault’s “Heterotopia,” a ‘space without a place’ when I try and define it.
