Author Tim Guest has written about growing up in the alternative communes of Bagwhan in the 70s in his acclaimed book My Life in Orange. He believes that our current society has already embraced many virtual elements – from money to TV and mobile phones.
But as global capitalism has encouraged us to lead more separate lives than ever before, people have concentrated so much on the development of the self that the sense of a wider community has been lost. For Tim, virtual worlds are spaces where people can reconnect with each other and rediscover a sense of community.
Tim's next project is a book about virtual worlds.
