More than thirty years ago, legendary computer scientist, visionary and artist Jaron Lanier pioneered the invention of Virtual Reality. Long one of the dominant clichés of science fiction, VR is the most effective device ever invented for researching what a human being actually is - and how we think and feel. Here, in what is likely to be one of the most unusual books you ever read, Lanier blends scientific investigation, philosophical thought experiment and his memoir of a life lived at the centre of digital innovation to explain what VR really is.
We are standing on the threshold of an entirely new realm of human creativity, expression, communication and experience. Welcome to a mind-expanding, life-enhancing, world-changing adventure.
