Cyberspace

Cyberspace is the virtual world in which computer networks connect and communicate with each other. It is a world of pure information and a construct to help us visualize and understand the interactions between computer data and artifacts that don’t exist and interact in a recognizable physical space. The term was coined by William Gibson in his science fiction short story “Burning Chrome” to describe a new, simulated reality created by computers. Cyberspace is considered by the U.S. military to be a defensible domain.
