Cyberspace
Seth Giddings · The International Encyclopedia of Communication Theory and Philosophy · 2016
Abstract This entry traces the origins, development, and decline of the use of the term cyberspace as applied to computer‐network communication since the 1980s. It pays particular attention to the blurring, in critical studies of cyberspace, of fictional visions and futures from science‐fiction literature and film with actual technological and cultural applications and practices.
