Orson Scott Card looked at the impact of instantaneous communication a little bit, but I agree, I don't know as anyone has really explored this. Partly because we can barely understand what's already happening with the internet, I suppose.
I liked Rimrunners, but I agree that Finity's End is much better. One of the things I really like about FE is the growth of the main character over time. And maybe I particularly relate to the protagonist because my kids are adopted and my older daughter was shuffled around a bit before she came to us. I recognize some of the behaviors Cherryh is writing about, and I think she does a pretty good job portraying them-- and showing how someone could find their way past them.
