Cybermagic

Like all varieties of cultural change, technological development was supposed to proceed step after step and one at a time. It was only logical, after all . But cyberspace changed all this. It suddenly seemed as if all the1components and tendencies which were now feeding into this3virtual zone had been made for it before it had even been named; as though all the ostensible reasons and motivations underlying their development had merely provided occasions for the emergence of a matrix which Gibson's novel was nudging into place; as though the present was being reeled into a future which had always been guiding the past, washing back over precedents completely unaware of its influence.— Sadie Plant 97
