Lately I've been thinking about Cyberpunk films. I'm specifically wondering why Bart and a number of his friends like film and novel scenarios where the narrative involves virtual reality. In my vivew, no matter how sophisticated VR actually becomes, it will not be exactly like we feel while we're reading Gibson or watching a "jacked in" scene in The Matrix.
If you have any thoughts on why you like VR-situated fiction, it would be interesting to hear about it.
