The first is a trilogy, by John C. Wright, that starts with The Golden Age. Lots of recent sci-fi is actually looking at the impact and meaning of UC, so that can give you some ideas and perspectives. Here is also an article by Clay Shirky, that points out the flaws in a permanet situation, and UC is simply permanet taken to an extreme: http://shirky.com/writings/permanet.html Oh, and by the way, thanks for the link in the blogroll. :) Hey, I’ve got a few books you should look at, that actually look at reality and society in ubiquitous computing and Virtual Reality.

People could basically escape completely from any type of reality that we know now and really just form their own reality. I wonder if people would even have any reason for real interactions with each other anymore with this type of technology available. To me it would be like living in a perpetual video game or real life movie or something. Very weird stuff, but at the same time very cool. It would definitely be really crazy!

What would we really get from alternative realities generated by real-time interactions between VR environments and our imaginations? If my dreams are any indication, it's going to be pretty crazy! Perhaps this is the opportunity for humankind to take more responsibility for our imaginations and learn to channel them. Our brain's a largely untapped resource after all.
