If I were to write a book, it would be about a guy who spends all his time online in a virtual world. This virtual world would be full of books that my character would read. I would publish this book online, in a virtual world, so that anyone reading it will be reading a book in a virtual world about a guy who spends all his time online reading in a virtual world. Thus my book would be a nexus connecting the real and the virtual, brought about by the only act humanly accomplishable in both the real and the virtual: the act of reading. The reader and my character would be seamlessly bridged, sharing a common experience.
