Virtual Worlds: Rewiring Your Emotional Future is a radically different type of book that both discusses the explosive impact that the proliferation of Virtual Worlds is having on culture, society and business today, and invites readers themselves to actually become contributors to the book, even sharing in future revenues and rights deals. Virtual Worlds and enhanced social networks allow people to explore and experience new universes, while expanding their emotional range and depth, changing the nature of communication, and creating different identities.
A growing number of young people are spending unprecedented amounts of time in a virtual existence. Virtual Worlds are becoming an embedded part of our culture and the implications for every aspect of society are unimaginable. This book discusses the potential that Virtual Worlds have to dramatically alter the emotional code of the human race.
