ABSTRACT
As a way into a tight focus on particular cyberculture theorists, I want to introduce here three writers – Michael Benedikt, Sherry Turkle and Maria Bakardjieva – whose work represents three phases of cyberculture research. These accounts give a flavour of the development of cyberculture theory, its methods and concerns, since the early 1990s. While the endless branching and bifurcating of cyberculture means I could have chosen countless alternatives, these three writers all do the useful job of summing up the mood of the time and place they were writing from.
