The Null Device

Anyway, speaking of zines, there's a new issue of Signum. That is, of course, the webzine published by west-coast new-media eminence Tiffany Lee Brown, and contributed to by a cast of digerati (Mark Dery, Carla Sinclair and Douglas Rushkoff are just some of the names). And it has a good piece looking back on the MONDO 2000 cyberculture revolution, its hopeful beginnings and how it all fell apart and devolved into an orgy of hypercapitalism.

In 1990, Virtual Reality mainman Jaron Lanier expressed the sense of utter desolation that was pervasive at the time, saying "Virtual Reality is *something.* And it's been a long time since we had something."
