001441517 520__ $$aThis is a pioneering study of virtuality through human history: ancient-to-modern evolution and recent expansion; expression in many fields (chapters on Religion; Philosophy, Math, Physics; Literature and the Arts; Economics; Nationhood, Government and War; Communication); psychological and social reasons for its universality; inter-relationship with "reality." The book's thesis: virtuality was always an integral part of humanity in many areas of life, generally expanding over the ages. The reasons: 1- brain psychology; 2- virtuality's six functions escape from boredom to relieving existential dread. Other questions addressed: How will future neuroscience, biotech and "communications" affect virtuality? Can/should there be limits to human virtualizing? Prof. Sam Lehman-Wilzig (PhD, Harvard U.) is Professor Emeritus of Bar-Ilan University, Israel, where he chaired its Political Science Department and also its School of Communication. He also served as Chairman of the Israel Political Science Association.
