description This article embarks on an exploration of what recent technical and popular discourses have called "the new world of cyberspace." Employing a cultural studies approach, it investigates the legacy, logic, and consequences of this appellation that appear to connect cyberspace to the Columbian voyages of discovery and the larger network of European expansionism. It therefore engages in a critical investigation of the colonial logic implied by this seemingly innocent taxonomy, examines its deployment in and significance for current research, and inquires about its position in the future of discourses written in and about cyberspace.
