Die Wirklichkeit der virtuellen Welten

In Virtual Worlds Benjamin Woolley examines the reality of virtual reality. He looks at the dramatic intellectual and cultural upheavals that gave birth to it the hype that surrounds it the people who have promoted it and the dramatic implications of its development. Virtual reality is not simply a technology it is a way of thinking created and promoted by a group of technologists and thinkers that sees itself as creating our future. Virtual Worlds reveals the politics and culture of these virtual realists and examines whether they are creating reality or losing their grasp of it. 12 photographs.
