Rez. in: Library quarterly 64(1994) no.4, S.454-457 (G.P. Menos): "Leibniz's teaching provides a crucial philosophical guide in Heim's understanding of the structure of cyberspace. In this approach, Leibniz' monadology and his truth machine - the characteristica universalis - ... are used as metaphors for describing human participation in virtual realities"
