Judge Richard Posner, in online avatar form, will be interviewed in the virtual community known as “Second Life“. From a blog about Second Life:
“I am very excited to have been asked to give a talk, via an avatar, in Second Life,” Judge Posner tells me, via e-mail. “Virtual communities are an important social phenomenon with transformative potential, and I know that Second Life is in the forefront of this latest stage of the digital revolution.” And I’m very excited to welcome such an august figure in-world, joining Lawrence Lessig, Thomas Barnett, and other great public intellectuals who’re among the first to transmit their crucial ideas into the metaverse.
