Is virtual reality the latest grand narrative that humanity has
produced? Our civilization is determined by a shift from an
"original event" to a virtual "narrative". This concerns not only
virtual reality but also psychoanalysis, gene-technology, and
globalization. Psychoanalysis transforms the dream into a narrative
and is able to spell out the dream's symbols. Gene-technology
narrates dynamic, self-evolving evolution as a "gene code".
Discourses on "globalization" let the globe appear as once more
globalized because reproduced through narrative. Finally, reality
itself has come to be narrated in the form of a second reality that
is called "virtual". This book attempts to disentangle the
characteristics of human reality and posthuman virtual reality and
asks whether it is possible to reconcile both.
