NEWS The Atlas of Cyberspace is now out and sets it sights on mapping out the spatial and visual nature of cyberspace and its infrastructure. The book has 30 years worth of maps of the internet that reveal the landscapes of cyberspace with 300 images ranging from the pencil drawing of early Arpanet to the most up-to-date computerised images of the current net. The book examines why cyberspace is being mapped and what new cartographic and visualisation techniques are being used. It also includes chapters detailing the mapping of internet infrastructure and traffic flows and mapping online communities. The book was created by Martin Dodge, a researcher at University College London, and Dr Rob Kitchin, a senior lecturer in Human Geography at the National University in Ireland.
