A number of discussions have charted the peculiar syndrome that is accompanying the thousands of people worldwide who have seen the new film Avatar. Apparently the film’s extremely realistic yet idealistic environment and culture painstaking created by digital animators working closely with anthropologists, linguists and biologists hired by Cameron has resulted in a number of people actually believing that such a place can exist. This points to the future where humans will increasingly be connected to digital versions of reality so lifelike that it can be hard to separate from non-digital reality with interesting and sometimes disturbing consequences.
