computational approaches, to sociologist, psychological and even
mystical ones, we will not be able to form new ways of understanding and thought for mapping the cyberspace realm.

This paper is my BA degree dissertation. Even I already handed it in I don’t consider it to be finished. I’m aming to expand and rewrite some bits of it, especially the Chapter 4 and the conclusion.
Anyhow, I would really appreciate any comments and suggestions!
