Review # 1 was written on 2016-04-17 00:00:00 DeAnna Jeffords Mostly boring to read 20 years later because so many of these predictions were just true and are now commonplace. That said, I do love the extended architectural metaphor.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-02-25 00:00:00 Jason Jankowski Given the rapid technological progress that had occurred since the book's publication, reading the author's descriptions of now ordinary processes like emailing, teleconferencing, or online shopping is rather boring. However, the comparisons drawn between the physical built environment and cyberspace are beautiful literary merits worth praising. Mitchell's concerns over social equity and access to cyberspace are still relevant challenges to this day despite the updates in technologies. Overall, it was a thoughtful piece and a decent read.
