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.
