In hand now:
Cyberspace : first steps / edited by Michael Benedikt
So this brings back memories as I had read much of it when it was first published back in 1991.
Has chapter by Michael Heim, someone I had just been reflecting on. Also a Heidegger scholar.
The metaphysics of virtual reality / Michael Heim (1993)
Virtual realism / Michael Heim (1998)
Electric language : a philosophical study of word processing / Michael Heim (1987)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_R._Heim
www.mheim.com/
And as I am reading Michael Benedikt's I am struck by just how Heideggerian it all is. But if it is Heideggerian, then it is not Deleuzian. Deleuze is the first post Heideggerian. Do it is not Deleuzian, except maybe for Benedikt's 4th Thread, as that is based on Mathematics. This may be the way that Deleuze gets beyond Heidegger.

Michael Heim had taught at CSU Long Beach. Then he became a "Free Lance Professor of Philosophy". Seems to be doing quite well too.
So Benedikt talks about Karl Popper. In 1972 Popper laid out his idea of there being 3 worlds. World 1 is the objective world of material things. World 2 is the subjective world of consciousness, calculations, feelings, thoughts. World 3 is objective and real public structures, though not necessarily intentional.
Again, very Heideggerian.
But now Benedikt lays out his four threads.
Thread 1, the oldest, begins in language, perhaps before langauge.
Makes reference to Vygotsky and Mead
people.ucsc.edu/~gwells/Files/Courses_Folder/ED%20261%20Papers/Holland%20Vygotsky_Mead%20on%20Identity.pdf
commoness - of -mind (very Heideggerian )
Thread 2, myth, media technology, enscription
Thread 3, spun out of the history of architecture.
Thread 4, based on mathematics. Curious. But this could be Deleuzian, and post Heideggerian.
