Future Presence

The premise of "Future Presence: How Virtual Reality Is Changing Human Connection, Intimacy, and the Limits of Ordinary Life" is that it is not your ordinary book. The 288-page magazine, written by Peter Rubin, Wired senior editor, and virtual reality expert, delves into the future and real potential of virtual reality in the field of relationships and intimacy. It delves into complex issues such as the human aspect, connections, and experiences made possible by such groundbreaking technology.

This is an excellent introduction to virtual reality, its history, and its future potential. Peter Rubin effectively introduces and explains the technology in layman's terms, and he does it with a storyteller's flair and a charming sense of humor. But this isn't some glitzy, long-form VR commercial. It's also necessarily a crisp introduction to some intriguing thinking and research in biology, psychology, and sociology; and it draws links among such fields that are only just beginning to be investigated (for reasons you'll have to pick up the book to understand). There are also cautionary statements. And that's before we even get to the sexy stuff. This is a book that will keep you turning the pages vivacious, enlightening, entertaining, adorable, and thought-provoking.

Future Presence is a voyage into the unknown future, as well as a look into the cultural ramifications and potential of a new reality. It addresses a slew of hard issues about what makes us human, what binds us together, and what is genuine. Rubin takes readers on an amusing tour of the strangest, craziest regions of this intriguing new universe, providing a look into the mind-blowing things happening in colleges, labs, and IT businesses throughout the world.

"With Future Presence, Peter Rubin goes to the core of why everyone should be enthusiastic about Virtual Reality and how it will impact their life, not just gamers, technophiles, or sci-fi aficionados." — Shuhei Yoshida, President of Worldwide Studios at PlayStation.
