   : 'Cyber' is definitely back. It's interesting that the meme is being   
   : used most frequently with the terrorism and fear words;   
   : "cyberterrorism", cyberattack, "cyberwarfare", etc.   
      
   Another fear word that has gotten the cyber label is "cyberstalking".   
      
   But the biggie "Cyberspace" is having a resurgence if it ever diminished.   
   I just finished Gibson's latest _Spook Country_ and he again uses the   
   term Cyberspace, not in the meaning of the Sprawl Trilogy's Cyberspace but   
   the meaning of the term as it exists in the 21st Century. I think Gibson   
   in the 90s was somewhat emberassed having invented to the term, it was   
   nice to see him use it in a non-ironic way in a novel that takes place in   
   2006.
