Katz getting Wertheim backwards? (Score 1)

it's been a while since i read Pearly Gates, but i seem to remember Wertheim being highly _critical_ of the cyberspace-as-religion viewpoint that Katz describes. she talks about the inbreeding between religion and science in Western history, and goes on to suggest that Kevin Kelly and the other Wired utopian fanatics are just the latest spin on a centuries-old tradition. so, yeah, she discusses Katz's cyber-utopia, but in more of an anthropological "aren't these people funny for thinking this way" manner then as someone actually trying to promote that view.

did anyone else actually read this book? or are we all just trusting Katz's summary?
