[Air-l] The internet as community

[Paul-Brian McInerney]

Barry, 

Though it's only peripherally related, Richard Powers's Plowing the Dark is
a great novel, part of which takes place on the campus of a high-tech firm
producing cutting-edge VR technologies.

Non-fiction: I'd nominate Stacy Horn's Cyberville.
