A relatively recent book which discusses some of the issues that are--or could be--at the core of the work of the cluster projects is James J. O'Donnell, Avatars of the Word From Papyrus to Cyberspace (Harvard U Press, 1998). Instead of running out to buy the book, you can visit the book's website and see the table of contents and some supplemental material. He has connections to further information about some of the issues/ideas presented in the book. The author is a professor of classics and U Penn's Vice Provost for Information Systems and Computing.
