I ZOOMED IN AS SHE approached the steps of the bridge, taking
voyeuristic pleasure in seeing her pixelated cleavage fill the screen. What was
it about those electronic dots that had the power to turn people on? There was
nothing real in them, but that never stopped millions of people every day, male
and female, from deriving sexual gratification by interacting with those points
of light. It must all be down to our perception of reality.

The first paragraph of chapter one from the book is something
we’ve all asked ourselves as residents of Second Life. What is the
pleasure we derive from either socializing or wandering aimlessly in exploring
a sim that’s new to us?
I became aware of Mr. DeSouza while following commentary
in an Augmented Reality group I follow on LinkedIn.com. His summary page reads: Clyde DeSouza works behind the scenes with leading
Stereographers and professionals in the film making and Broadcast TV industry.
His work also includes advising Government and educational institutions in the
creation of collaborative environments and advanced media labs to further the
knowledge capital of a country.
