Yes I tend to agree with you, specially on the insight of "the same
historical repeated mistake", which reminds me of the importance of a
global network as a collective memory bank, more or less in the very
same way as Ted Nelson wanted to develop his Xanadu project. This
means that if we could simulate this collective global memory, somehow
we would be able to retain it, although I'm not certain that it would
do us any good.
Nevertheless, here is some bibliography (most from T.N. of course)
that has been produced representing a few plugs of the Matrix.
Best wishes.
