Title: Fractal dreams
Description: CD-ROM, CDI, VR... the digital media revolution is upon us - or so, this book argues, we are being led to believe. The essays in Fractal Dreams set out to explore what is new about New Media, mapping the territory of the mediasphere and distinguishing what is actual and what is virtual in these new worlds.

In these specially commissioned pieces, practitioners of New Media and cultural critics from Britain and North America grapple with key issues such as: who has access to technology? Is consumerism the same as access? Will art and everyday life finally merge in the shopping malls rather than the revolution?
