Summary: Every day, across all corners of the globe, hundreds of thousands of users log onto Second Life, a virtual online world not entirely unlike our own.

They enter a new reality, whose inhabitants assume alternate personas in the form of avatars—digital alter egos that can be sculpted and manipulated to the heart’s desire, representing reality, fantasy, or a healthy mix of both. Within this alternate landscape, escapism abounds, relationships are formed, and a real-world economy thrives, effectively blurring the lines between reality and "virtual" reality.

An honest, fair and quite voyeuristic look into avatars and the real-life humans who control them in Second Life. Read full review

Nick Schager

May 17, 2011

At once a disturbing vision of escape, a cautious portrait of liberation, and an exploration of authenticity and artificiality. Read full review

Justin Chang

May 17, 2011

A disturbing but nonjudgmental study of online addiction and the lure of manufactured identities. Read full review
