What Happens When Your Virtual Home Gets a Virus? [fiction] (backchannel.com)

I don't have what I would qualify as an insightful comment. reading through this- it makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable. It also reminds me of talking with a professor during my undergrad, he talked about how during a rough spot in his marriage he had an everquest addiction, his belief was that when you look for an outlet online, or try to live in a virtual world, it is that you are trying to fill a void inside of yourself.

From the aspect of literature, shouldn't good literature make you feel something? Even if that something is an uncomfortable sadness.
