Notes on Preface of "Small Pieces Loosely Joined"

Author worked for a software company:
-One day is shown the new technology coming out in a competitor (Mosaic, soon to be Netscape)
-links that can be taken from anywhere rather than only when someone owns both of the linked sites.
Small Pieces Loosely Joined:
“people” are small pieces… his theory is like Ms.Elk’s theory on Brontosaurus’
the new internet has loosely joined links with errors coming up but there’s a lot of them now, just not very organized/stable---What the web does--- “what once was tightly bound entities has been ripped into pieces and thrown into the air”
Web is an unnatural world not controlled by factors of nature—he asks what is true to our nature and what is only appearing to be true to our nature because it was all we had?
