Cyberville

Synopsis
The electronic revolution, led largely by American technology, has created new ways of modelling, mapping and imagining the world. Video games, the Internet and virtual reality open up new space for us to live in - cyberspace. Looks humorously at this community of nerds, hackers, valley girl Internet swingers and virtual reality dancers. As we approach the millennium, modern American cities are in fact composed up of two cities - the city built of steel, bricks and glass, and the shadow city of media and information. The passport to cyberspace will be the Internet, which is attracting subscribers at a phenomenal rate.
