Cyberspace Quote by Scott Bukatman
““Whether “cyberspace” is a real place or not, our experience of electronic space is a “real” experience. By distinguishing the constitution of being as an activity of interface, phenomenology suggests that the status of being is not an absolute condition, but one that changes relative to changes in the experience of the real.””
