商品描述

Hallucination, imagination, innovation: from the mind in the cave to life on the screen, increasingly virtual reality is the only human reality. Sex in Space explains why. Pulling together an astoundingly diverse array of source material, Sex in Space traces the technological and intellectual history of virtual reality beginning with early representative art and continuing through the invention of narrative, cartography, communication media, simulation technologies (i.e. logistics and war gaming), the advent of the internet, and the role of video games and online gaming in contemporary culture by integrating a diverse array of source material and distilling it through a gender perspective. As it closes with a look to the place of humankind in the distant future of the universe, Sex in Space explains why all culture is virtual culture and why we must embrace it as a species to survive into the distant future of the universe.

幻覺、想像、創新:從洞穴中的心智到螢幕上的生活,越來越多的虛擬現實成為唯一的人類現實。《太空中的性》解釋了原因。這本書匯集了驚人多樣的資料來源,追溯虛擬現實的技術和智識歷史,從早期的代表性藝術開始,持續到敘事的發明、地圖製作、傳播媒介、模擬技術(即物流和戰爭遊戲)、互聯網的出現,以及視頻遊戲和線上遊戲在當代文化中的角色,並通過性別視角進行整合和提煉。書末展望人類在宇宙遙遠未來中的位置,《太空中的性》解釋了為什麼所有文化都是虛擬文化,以及為什麼我們必須作為一個物種擁抱它,以便在宇宙的遙遠未來中生存下去。
