In September 2004 I was a guest-blogger for the French online magazine 
fluctuat.net. I wrote a series of short posts about what could be called 
"the precursors of the Web"... or "the Web minus the technology".
(the posts in french are here 
http://www.fluctuat.net/blog/participations.php3?id_auteur=30)

Here is an augmented and updated version in English.

James Joyce
Jeremy Bentham
