I don't really know what to post on here, but I bought a cool robot, so I guess that.

Cyberspace is a ghostly concept, but its premise is simple. There are two overlapping worlds, one made of molecules and one made of bits. Our bodies exist in the tangible world, but another realm envelops and eludes us all at once. Conjured somewhere in the air between computers is cyberspace, the ethereal domain of data. A place where the limits of the physical can be transcended. Somewhere we can only glimpse the shadow of through the medium of our screens.

When the internet still seemed exciting and mysterious, this spatial metaphor was understandably popular. It’s easier to imagine the internet as a new location in your head then it is to contend with the unfathomable distance of cable conveying an unending series of electromechanical exchanges to induce it. You surfed the web like an ocean. You navigated its pages like a book. It was all these things and more. Every direction seemed to extend into a multitude of possibilities.
