17. “Governments of the Industrial World, you
weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from
Cyberspace, the new home of the Mind. On
behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to
leave us alone. You are not welcome among us.
You have no sovereignty where we gather. We
will create a civilisation of the Mind in
Cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair
than the world your governments have made
before”
