Aarseth, E. (2001). Virtual worlds, real knowledge: towards a hermeneutics of virtuality. European Review, 9(02), 227–232. http://doi.org/10.1017/S1062798701000205
Aarseth delves into the true meaning of “virtual” and how it applies to “virtual reality” as well as other “virtual” ideas. He argues that virtuality is a new way of interpreting the world and should be used as a better interface than the narrative form (like the story) to generate knowledge.
