Topologies of the Virtual: Envisioning the Megalopolis as a Narrative Network

Abstract: 

The metropolis of the twentieth century was supposed to be concentric, hierarchical, and legible, with map-like clarity. Before long, though, they looked more like communications networks. This paper will trace some of the topologies, topographies, and tropologies of the postmodern, postsuburban megalopolis.
