Redefining The Real
‘Reality as fiction? Fiction as reality? In this day and age, it seems we need to re-evaluate what these things even mean. We have moved beyond post-modern ponderances of "the reality of the simulacra" (or copy) to something more immediate – are our relationships with individuals, conducted through electronic medium, any more or less valid than those that occur outside of those confines? Should we feel just as hurt if they die? Feel just as cheated if it turns out their death was merely a part of some elaborate game, or conversely, if real deaths are written off as part of a game of a more sinister kind?’ (Alterati article).
