As a salesman of the cyber-commons he was almost certainly unaware of the antiquity of his pitch; he had been anticipated by a disciple of Saint-Simon, who in 1852 announced: "A perfect network of electric filaments will afford a new social harmony." In the following year, "eminent domain" entered the language, to denote the state's rationale ('superior dominion of the sovereign power over all lands within its jurisdiction') for the seizure of private property for public use. The dynamo of eminent domain was the infrastructural imperative of industrial capitalism, specifically the new rail, road and electromechanical links. Far too costly for private development alone, they brought profound changes both in land use, and in conceptions of time and space, together with brutal dislocations and reconnections forged by urbanization and labor migration.
