I, Avatar: Constructions of Self and Place in Second Life

"The ultimate display would … be a room within which the computer can control the existence of matter … With appropriate programming such a display could literally be the Wonderland in which Alice walked" - Ivan Sutherland, 1985

This is a pretty good paper, all things considered. It's scholarly without being too pedantic/donnish/full-of-itself.
