    THE GENDERED BODY: READING CYBORG WOMEN; Julian Dibbell, MY TINY
    LIFE: CRIME AND PASSION IN A VIRTUAL WORLD; Christopher Dewdney,
    LAST FLESH: LIFE IN THE TRANSHUMAN ERA; and a review of "Sexuality 
    and Cyberspace: Performing the Digital Body," a special issue of 
    WOMEN & PERFORMANCE: A JOURNAL OF FEMINIST THEORY;

  * The establishment of the Cyberculture Working Group, a collection
    of Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC-based scholars and
    activists who meet face-to-face to discuss issues of cyberculture;
