Cyberspace is more than a breakthrough in electronic media or in computer
interface design. With its virtual environments and simulated worlds,
cyberspace is a metaphysical laboratory, a tool for examining our very sense
of reality.

There could be a world where people grow younger every day, rain falls into

I was born human. But this was an accident of fate - a condition merely of
time and place. I believe it's something we have the power to change.
