"This is a book about a love affair. It's also a meditation on a phenomenon that has changed not just our lives but our perceptions of ourselves. It is, of course, about cyberspace. "Just as Ada Lovelace and William Babbage designed a machine that could not yet be made, so we are sensing a world that cannot yet be expressed," says Thomas. She does, however, have a damn good go in this fascinating exploration of a world where word meets, and even replaces, flesh."
