Right now Cory Doctorow is in Second Life and is just about to start signing copies of his book Someone Comes to Town Someone leaves town. It’s a futurists’ w37 dr34m.
Cory, of course, is awriter, Boing Boing’er, the book is SF, it's published free under a Creative Commons licence in a range of formats, in Second Life there was a contest to create a virtual version of the work, Cory’s avatar was created by an in-world designer, he’s being interviewed by Hamlett an ‘embedded’ journalist in a virtual space, and you can have the fricking thing signed, digitally, virtually.
omg my head is spinning.
10 points for the first person to form a decent, relevant proposition including the words simulacra, metaverse and Ramen.
