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.
