Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world.

Many science fiction books have imagined characters being "trapped in virtual reality" or entering into virtual reality.

Jonathan Gottschall
Commentators frequently blame MMORPGs for an increasing sense of isolation in modern life. But virtual worlds are less a cause of that isolation than a response to it. Virtual worlds give back what has been scooped out of modern life. The virtual world is in important ways more authentically human than the real world. It gives us back community, a feeling of competence, and a sense of being an important person whom people depend on.
Jonathan Gottschall, The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human

The Metaverse holds the key to a future where we can connect, create, and collaborate in ways never before imagined.
