I know that Gibson coined the term CyberSpace, and I know that Vinge first
described an 'information space' in True Names, but I wonder if there are other
earlier instances of information as space in the 'popular' press. I'd be
particularly interested in  'information as space' concepts in other cultures.
Email me with suggestions and ideas and I'll post if there is interest. Thanks.
