Description
"I Loaf and Invite my Soul"
We're our secret selves, we're more than ourselves, we meet ourselves (or at least our alts) coming and going...in virtual worlds like Second Life, that's just the beginning. As the saying goes, It's Complicated. But then, so are we.
Join ethnologist Tom Bukowski, author of "Coming of Age in Second Life," for a conversation about the faceted nature of the self, and what virtual worlds have to teach us about what we've always been.
This event is sponsored by the Alexandrian Free Library, and produced by Radio Riel. If you can't join us in-world, tune in at
