“In September 2004 I was a guest-blogger for the French online magazine fluctuat.net. I wrote a series of short posts about what could be called ‘the precursors of the Web’ – or ‘the Web minus the technology’ (…). Here is an augmented and updated version in English that will be published in the magazine for art and new media aminima N°20. Some of my pieces are described as well, in relation to these precursors.” (Christophe Bruno) – courtesy of brucesterling
