I was in the right place at the right“moment in time,” as the new media people referred to the early Internet days. I had just arrived in New York City in 1994 and was wondering what kind of research I could do here that might fit with what I had done in the industrial Midwest. The key problems for cities there involved the decline of their manufacturing base and the rise of a postindustrial economy that seemed to promote more inequality and less security. In fact, the emergence of the new media in old industrial neighborhoods in cities such as Boston, San Francisco, and New York signalled that an important new chapter had begun in the troubled postindustrial transition of American cities. It initially appeared that the creative folks who inhabit our cities were developing commercial applications out of a potent mix of technology and culture—and that they were creating some kind of place-based form of industrial organization. This was welcome news not only for cities but also for the U.S. economy, which had stalled in the early 1990s. Like most everybody who witnessed it, I was startled when Lower Manhattan’s technobomenians seemingly sprang out of nowhere in late 1995. The early accounts in local newspapers and magazines had an almost ethnographic flavor, as if the reporters were anthropologists who had uncovered the strange beliefs and rituals of a previously unknown people.
