CYBERPORNOGRAPHY
        A columnist in M.I.T.'s Technology Review says that the magazines
Wired and Mondo 2000 "pander, bombarding their readers with pure sensation
for sensation's sake -- a good working definition of pornography. What
makes these magazines at once fascinating and appalling is their blase
amorality." (Technology Review Feb/Mar 94 p.70)
