Exodus to the Virtual World - Professor Edward Castronov
Professor Castronova's new book, Exodus to the Virtual World., states the provocative thesis that a continual migration is now happening between physical reality and the alternative realities offered by open virtual worlds and massive online games, and that the two modes of existence will henceforth co-adapt, competing for the attention, time, and money of users. Facilitated by John Jainschigg (SL: John Zhaoying).
