STRANGE CARP SPARK CYBERSOCIOLOGICAL MUSINGS



This story has been around for years. I remember covering it in Tropical Fish magazine back in 2002 or 2003. The interesting quqstion is why has it surfaced again now? I find myself being drawn more and more to questions like this. Ten years or so ago I wrote a paper about what I called `Psychosociology` after reading Julian Dibbell's My Tiny Life, and it is a subject that has interested me ever since. The ebb and flow of information online, and even more peculiarly the ebb and flow of complete nonsense fascinates me. If anyone can point me in the direction of any books on the subject as a whole I would be very interested..
