<nettime> is not only a mailing list, but an attempt to to formulate an
international, networked discourse, that is either promoting the dominant
euforia (in order to sell some product), nor to continue with the cynical
pessimism, spread by journlalists and intellectuals working in the 'old'
media, who can still make general statements without any deeper knowledge
on the specific communication aspects of the so-called 'new' media.
We intend to bring out books, readers and floppies and web sites in
various languages, so that the 'immanent' net critique will not only
circulate within the internet, but can also be read by people who are not
on-line.
