Industry Reviews This work is an engrossing exploration of what Holtzman (Digital Mantras: The Languages of Abstract and Virtual Worlds, LJ 6/1/94) believes is a fascinating march into a cultural realm as compelling as the New World that once tempted Columbus. Are you aware, for example, of the profound changes already brought about by the explosion of CD-ROMs, the World Wide Web, and virtual reality, which allow us, by nature of their nonlinearity, to jump from idea to idea, independent of the constraints of space and time? If you are, you are ready to greet the next generation of digital media, or "mosaics," which Holtzman says will reshape the very ways we think, much the way the alphabet has shaped thought and influenced the world for thousands of years. Literate, entertaining, and more than a little bit thrilling, the ideas herein will set readers on a course to a fertile land whose possibilities will lure them to disembark and never look back. For all computer collections. Geoff Rotunno, "Tri-Mix" Magazine, Goleta, Cal. Stefanatos
