Virtual Worlds

This category has to do with immersive, graphical, persistent state environment, non-combat virtual worlds -- like a Wide Open Sandbox MMORPG that is all sandbox, no game. These worlds could someday become The Metaverse - in fact, some might argue that they already have.

For in-universe virtual worlds, see Lotus Eater Machine, Cyberspace and Inside a Computer System.
