Second Life is a virtual world created by its inhabitants, it is as close to Stephensons view of the Metaverse in the seminal novel Snow Crash as you can currently get.
The Official Guide provides a step by step insight into the world of Second Life making it a recommend read before you actually download the software and experience the environment yourself.
Such environments age quickly and in some ways with this book you are buying a snapshot of the history of Virtual Worlds. In a few years we will look back at such environments with amazement at their simplicity but for now we can enter the Metaverse, design our own Avatars and take part in the digital experience that is Second Life.
You can buy the guide via our Amazon's Associate store, if you do let us know your Second Life user name, via the email link in our side bar, and we'll link up with you in the world to answer any questions you may have...
If you don't have a clue what Second Life or the Metaverse is - then we recommend you read Neal Stephensons Snow Crash and then Second Life the Official Guide.
