An interesting discussion over at Terra Nova debating both sides of the divide – virtual worlds as reinforcing our consumerist society, or as a platform for liberation.
“I’m wondering what TN reader’s view is of the trajectory of the intersection of virtual worlds and what some term the political economy is. In short do we think that the practices associated virtual worlds are tending towards liberating us or are acting as just another way for dominant ideologies to be re-enforced?”
