The real snow crash: utopian charge and dystopian dangers in the Metaverse
Another Perfect World: A 30-minute trailer of what seems like a really well done documentary about the many aspects of the new generation of virtual worlds and how it reflects back on humanity:
Details from the producer:
“Another Perfect World is a documentary about digital utopias, about online worlds created as places for work, play, friendship and love.
People have always created utopias, worlds that reflect the greatest, most enlightened and noble ideas of the period in which they live. The utopias of the future will be created online, in digital worlds capable of rendering photo-realistic depictions of whatever the mind can imagine with technologies that allow people from around the world to join in. We now have the chance to build a new world from scratch.
If you were going to do so, on which principles would you establish it? What is more important: freedom of expression; an active marketplace to encourage social interaction; or laws to define the limits of social relations?”
