Cyber face

Article Abstract:

The Internet is very different in a number of ways from anything which went before it, according to science fiction writer William Gibson, who was the first to develop the concept of cyberspace. He is proud of having given readers an objective correlative for the digital universe, but regards himself simply as a product of his time. In his latest novel, 'Idoru,' he portrays a world in which the authorities have finally managed to bring the Internet under control.

Squalid, disgusting, toxic: is this the dirtiest city on the planet?

Article Abstract:

Delhi, India, is one of the dirtiest cities world-wide, due to problems of polluted water and air linked to slums without sanitation, high-sulfur fuel and lack of investment in public transportation. Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom denied having called Delhi dirty, but she did not see the really squalid parts of Delhi. The Yamuna river carrying fresh water to Delhi is badly polluted before it arrives, and is used as a toilet and a laundry.
