review 1: Disappointing. There was little in the way of new speculation on any of these topics and to be perfectly honest I think these topics have been better covered by the sci fi genre than they are here. A lot of the stories and points brought up in the book were not only unoriginal but stimulated short snibbets of further ideas that were in no way discussed or fleshed out. I would love to live forever virtually though :) sign me up!
review 2: Just as an idea it mentions simpsons, neuromancer, ender's game, snow crash, cast away, avatar (the movie), theories, family guy, Being John Malkovich, 6 degrees of kevin bacon, social learning theory, Sopranos, Twilight, proteus effect, virtual immortality, CSI, Farmville, Harry Potter, superbowl ads, the pinto car, Mr. Ed, Se
... morecond Life (meh.), The Office, PTSD, Sun Tzu, War Games, America's Army and Cyberpunks less
