Autonomy and Creativity
The social and cultural movement that underlies cyberspace -- a powerful and increasingly broad movement -- is covering not toward any particular content but toward a form of communication that is unmediated, interactive, community based, nonhierarchical, and rhizomatic. Generalized interconnection, the hunger for virtual communities, the exaltation of collective intelligence -- none of those constitute the elements of a political or cultural program in the classical sense of the term. Yet all three are secretly driven by two essential "values": autonomy and an openness toward alterity.
-- Pierre Levy "Cyberculture"
