I was sent a copy of the new book "Virtual Worlds: Rewiring Your Emotional Future", co-written by Jack Myers of Jack Myers Media Business Report, and mediavillage.com; and Jerry Weinstein, author of numerous online publications, including Noam Chomsky: A Life of Dissent. I found the book to be an interesting primer for anyone interested in SL, coming to it from the outside. Mr. Myers makes a case for the necessity of coming up to speed with the concept of virtual worlds, positing their emergence as merely the next step in the evolution of mankind's social environment, rather than simply a flash-in-the-pan fad for now.Also, Mr. Myers invites everyone to participate in the ongoing storyline of reader-generated fiction CyberParadiseSociety.com, the first chapter of which is introduced in the back of the book. Future installments will be included in updated versions of the printed material, so send your thoughts to Mr. Myers today!
(Thanks, Liz!)
