Meet Fizzy Oceans-archivist, researcher, environmentalist and
adventurer. On her travels she witnesses The Exodus, the Battle of
Gettysburg and Hurricane Katrina, as well as many other historical
and real time events. She meets notable individuals including
Gandhi, Mark Twain, Jacques Cousteau, The Dalai Lama, Saddam
Hussein and even a new species called the Quinngen. Such unique
experiences and encounters spanning the world and time as we know
them would not be possible for a single individual-especially not
for a woman named Amy Birkenstock who works as a medical clerk in
Seattle, Washington-but Fizzy Oceans, Amy's digital alter ego, is
not in Physical Life. She lives, works and travels in the virtual
world where the dead are very much alive, places like ancient
Babylon and Pompeii have been reconstructed, and with the click of
a button-WHOOSH -one is transported throughout the Ages to events
and destinations that make up our human history. Even as Amy's
physical life existence is challenged by encroaching environmental
disaster, economic instability, and societal breakdown, Fizzy's
virtual world offers instant realization of vision and inspiration.
The Virtual Life of Fizzy Oceans imagines the bridging of two
worlds-the literal and the metaphorical-and questions what it is we
have created, what has been lost, and what might be possible for us
as individuals and for the Human Race.
