This book discusses the impact that the proliferation of Virtual Worlds has on business and consumers today. Virtual Worlds and enhanced social networks allow us to explore new universes, expand our emotional range and depth, change the nature of communication, and create different identities for ourselves. A growing number of young people are spending unprecedented amounts of time in a virtual existence. Virtual Worlds are becoming an embedded part of our culture and the implications for every aspect of society are unimaginable. This book discusses the potential that Virtual Worlds have to dramatically alter the emotional code of the human race. This book also introduces the first chapter of a new "reader generated" novel, taking readers 25-years into the future when a leading virtual world has such an enormous impact on society that it can radically alter politics, entertainment, and interpersonal relationships.
