See for "virtual communities" (VR); Hollinger quotes Stone as seeking "an apparatus for the production of community and an apparatus for the production of body" (87) "in a time in which technology and organism are collapsing, imploding into each other" (93) (from Hollinger p. 428).

Key points usefully quoted by Alison Adam, "The Ethical Dimension of Cyberfeminism," which see.
