About This Book
"In this book, philosopher Thomas Langan explores "virtual reality" - an inherently contradictory phrase - and the effects of technology on our very being.
In our present-day high-technology environment, making simple, everyday decisions is difficult because the virtual world we've created doesn't necessarily operate according to the old "common sense." To retain our intellectual fitness, we must, Langan argues, consider these essential questions: If virtual reality is, in fact, reality, what is this life that we are caught up in? What is being within the context of virtual reality?
How can we establish a system for distinguishing truth from fiction?"--BOOK JACKET.
