Lineland -- "Editor's Choice"

[Jules Siegel]

The Midwest Book Review selected Lineland as Editor's Choice and is
publishing the following review in paper, to UseNet and on the web:

Lineland
Jules Siegel, et al. 
Intangible Assets Manufacturing
828 Ormond Avenue, Drexel Hill, PA 19026-2604
1-885876-04-1  $11.95  1-88-399-9126  http://www.iam.com/lineland

Pynchon-L resembles an online version of a New York literary cocktail
party, with conversations and characters just as interesting. Discussion
in Lineland: Mortality And Mercy On The Internet's Pynchon-L at waste.org
Discussion list cover a wide range of topics, but revolve around the
real-life late Sixties adventures (and love-triangle) of a world-famous
novelist, an 18-year-old artist/model and a street-smart journalist.
Lineland is the story of Jules Siegel's modern journey through the
Internet (especially Pynchon-L) out of years of isolation in the tropical
jungles of Mexico. Lineland is a new kind of book. It provides a kind of
"slice-of-life" on the Internet, rather than an extended technical or
philosophical discussion. Lineland is cyberspace set in type. Readers of
all backgrounds, whether computer experienced or not, will enjoy this
internet cocktail party!
