First Sentence

"It's some caving trip: Far below you is an active volcano from which great gouts of molten lava come surging out, cascading back down into the depths."

Work Description

Perhaps our networked world isn't a universal doorway to freedom. Might it be a distraction from reality? An ostrich hole to divert our attention and resources from social problems? A misuse of technology that encourages passive rather than active participation? I'm starting to ask questions like this, and I'm not the first. - Preface.
