Please join in celebrating Professor Lisa Messeri’s new book, In the Land of the Unreal: Virtual and Other Realities in Los Angeles!
It’s a long-awaited book about the culture of Virtual Reality (VR), drawing upon insights from anthropology and feminist STS (Science and Technology Studies). It addresses questions of people’s motivation and fascination about VR, including “how the recent resurgence of virtual reality hinged on a belief that the technology could repair rifts in reality.”
