I'm posting this since it may be of interest to others and I would be interested to see peoples reaction to the book. Take a look at Sherry Turkle's _The_Second__Self:_Computers and_the_Human_Spirit. (1984, Simon & Schuster). She talks about a number of different "styles" of interaction with computers. I have seen references to more recent publications by this author, but I don't recall the references. Please post a summarry of your e-mail responses.
