There is a significant difference though; in cybernetic space you can disguise your identity much more easily and that appears to be important for some people as the reactions to the ethnographic research on virtual Dublin showed.

I would have thought also that space-wise, it is one world that we inhabit, which can be broken down into different aspects that make it up. John ‘we claim to be inhabiting presently two worlds’

Hi Arthur,
How do they differentiate between these worlds? I would have thought also that space-wise, it is one world that we inhabit, which can be broken down into different aspects that make it up.
