Publisher's Synopsis
What if one could build a virtual world with effective open borders, in a consensual and cooperative way? The Virternity project proposes a benign and positive outlook to the future of humanity's adventure into the virtual realm and the increasing mergence with the digital world. There is perhaps a sense of inevitability about the move towards a future where humans span both the physical and digital world. Seen as a whole, the Virternity project is an encompassing idea, its aims and goals are by no means small in intention or in scope. What is or is not achievable may not be answered in this book but certainly, this is an attempt to address the challenges that lie ahead with reference to current developments and similar endeavours that are already in existence. What the reader may elicit from this book is the potential of the ideas that the Virternity project has expressed and that much of what is proposed is certainly possible or may be in the future.
