CHAPTER

Is There a Barrier to Co-Operation in Virtual Worlds?

In a society where vitual worlds played a big roll, we'd have that kind ofa nation. We'd have people with strong, immediate concerns for what's going on around them.

If nationalism comes to dominate and our local concerns come to dominate global concerns if so, that's a problem, with or without virtral worlds.
