| From 1994 to 1996 I presented a series of essays on the critical state of
the Internet, its construction and probable prospects for the future.
Topics covered include the history of the pre-Web matrix and the likely
regulatory environment future tech might face.
Part of this research developed into the material currently found in my Hacker\Culture site. The rest is presented here. John Stevenson
