Virtual lives cannot be avoided. Virtual lives are experimental. If my body is not there then I can type myself a new one.
Virtual lives are part of virtual societies whose stable forms are beginning to be seen.
These virtual social structures are constituted by the inter-relations between three circuits of power in cyberspace. Many begin their journey into cyberspace as individuals. In front of the computer screen, reading the glowing words we confront our singularity before building a sense of others in the electronic world. There is a double sense of individuality here. The first moment in cyberspace is spent by nearly everyone in their own individualised place.
