Carole Parker (author of 'The Joy of Cybersex') in an article beginning page
43 titled "Getting it on - line" slides us in between tele-dildonics (don't
ask) and VR.
She writes;
"Perhaps, as the extropian movement hopes, your computer will one day be
implanted in your brain and it will transmit your thoughts to another 'post
human' in computer-mediated telepathy. Your body may just become the lump
of flesh you would like to leave behind as you send your inner self off into
the ether. And which will be more real ? Your flesh or virtual self ? At
that point it may be taken that your body is merely occupying space on earth
while your mind is involved in a society that has no physical presence as we
know it now."
