    About this ebook

    The year is 2030. The newest revolution in technology is what Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, has dubbed “Total Immersion.” This VR system instantlyanesthetizes users and transports them into artificial worlds where near-realityand fantasy are constructed with perfection. Customers can pay for dinner withBrad Pitt or Marylin Monroe, threesomes with John Lennon and Emma stone, or aweekend with a long-dead spouse—all constructed in such visceral detail that it’simpossible to separate from the truth until the TI system is powered off.
