Hong Kong has been a problem for China's government because its people remember the bloody crackdown on pro-democracy activists in Tienanmen Square in 1989. Ousting Tienanmen researcher Rowena He from her university position and denyingvher entry to Hong Kong are the latest steps in erasing the crackdown from the popular memory.

@ashley John S. Quarterman's The Matrix is a contemporaneous (publ. 1990) account of early "Computer Networks and Conferencing Systems Worldwide".

It focuses more on the technical, though the introduction is a fascinating take on the impact of the then-nascent networks' capabilities on China's Tienanmen Square protests. FidoNet is amongst the covered networks.

The WWW is not included, for obvious reasons.
