Second Thoughts on the Information Highway. Across the Postmodern Divide. He is currently working on a book with Steven Best, The Postmodern Adventure. However, in this particular case he also shows the anxiety of those who are heavily invested in information technology and react with haste and alarm to arguments that the Internet stocks are overrated.

Constructivists typically beg the question, demanding a persuasive construction of reality.
At an ecofeminism conference a couple of years ago here at the University of Montana-Missoula, I suggested to a skeptical audience that constructivism does well only on paper, in cyberspace, and in windowless lecture halls. I said this in a well-fenestrated room with the windows open. And as I went on to plead the eloquence of reality out in the mountains, there was a roll of thunder. The audience responded with laughter, some of it knowing, some of it rueful. I may be a poor advocate of reality.
