A Vision of Extropia
“Freedom Through Fun” – Richard A. Bartle
“If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution” – Emma Goldman
“The emergence of virtual worlds in the commercial entertainment sector represents a fascinating experiment in social policy: a test of whether it is possible to create an entire society in which the primary goal of government is to help people have fun” – Edward Castronova
