Is There a Future for Virtual Worlds?

Wendel: The discussion in these chapters is more superficial than it could be, especially the chapter on the designing and governing virtual worlds. I think there are this array of ethical considerations that i think require a lot of elucidation. There's been this concern that we already live in, if not a virtual reality, we live in an alienated world where we mistake the shadow, the symbol, the illusion for what is real. We've lost touch with what is real," she says.
