When I first encountered the concept of V-World the MMO Second Life, as a former user, immediately came to mind. I couldn't help but think of the fact that the program provides many opportunities to exercise one's imagination without consequences. Granted, it is nowhere near as complicated as V-World, but I would suggest that (at least in some areas) the level of debauchery is comparable.
However, based on some of "Rachel's" comments in the latest episode, I was wondering if V-World, or at least Zoe's vision of it, is moving more towards Ray Kurzweil's belief in the Singularity, a world in which human intelligence will exist without the need for bodies (but rather than as ascended beings we'd be super advanced AIs).
Has anybody else had similar thoughts?
