Problematics of Cyberspace

“Problematics of Cyberspace” was the original suggested title for my book (I suggested it, but the editor rightly said it was clumsy and unattractive). We dumped it.

So it’s weird that this bookseller now offers my book with this title. Where did this come from? How do they know? Why don’t they use the right title (after all it’s in the picture of the book they provide)…

Denis Wood and Shadowed Spaces

Denis Wood’s samizdat essay on “Shadowed Spaces, In Defense of Indefensible Space” has finally been made available in its original form. The essay, which constitutes a kind of defense of heterotopic spaces, has previously only been available in photocopy and a more formal published version.

Wood is a designer, psychogeographer, and author of many books on mapping and power (including The Power of Maps, and Making Maps co-authored with John Krygier).

I’ve read a lot of Denis’ work and had the pleasure of knowing him for over 15 years, but I had never before read this piece.
