Abstract
Virtuality need not be a prison. It can be the raft, the ladder, the transitional space, the moratorium that eventually is discarded in order to reach greater freedom. We don’t have to reject life on the screen, but we don’t have to treat it as an alternative life either. Like the anthropologist returning home from a foreign culture, the voyager in virtuality can return to a real world better equipped to understand its artifices. (Turkle, 1998, p. xvii)
