The virtual century didn’t kill journalism or libraries, it stripped away artifacts on their journey to a golden age. So too virtuality isn’t the end of The City, it is the rebirth. The new, permeable city interacts with many publics in a complex world. Let’s take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight, in Virtual Suburbia.

And now in Ripple we see them paying it forward, empowering readers to become authors in a read-write culture where the world we experience can be shaped by our own hands.
