Are you looking for the overview of Internet GIS?
Here is my recent on-line paper published on the GIS@development magazine.

Are you looking for the explanation of cyberspace?
Here is my first paper about the cyberspace and geography (1995). (a very old paper written when I was a graduate student at SUNY-Buffalo. But it is a very interesting paper for me).
Dr. Ming-Hsiang (Ming) Tsou. Chinese name:
鄒明祥. Associate Professor. San Diego State University.
Department of Geography.
This is one of my favorite stories: "A year here and he still dreamed of cyberspace, hope fading nightly. All the speed he took, all the turns he'd taken and the corners he'd cut in Night City, and still he'd see the matrix in his sleep, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colorless void".... written by William Gibson, Neuromancer, 1984.
