I'm reading the book Reality+ 
, written by the philosopher David Chalmers. It's a long read of **technophilosophy**, where philosophers ask deep questions about technology but where they also use technology to think harder about. traditional philosophical concerns such as "what can we know", "what is reality" and "what should we do".
The main thesis is that virtual realities are genuine realities.
What happens in VR really happens, virtual objects are real. You can lead a fully meaningful life in a virtual world and the possibility that we are living in a simulation cannot be ruled out. Also, virtual and augmented minds are genuine minds.
Other important questions are "who should have ultimate authority about what happens in a virtual world", "should there be laws in a virtual world, and if so, what should they be" and "how can a virtual world be a truly fair and just place for its inhabitants".
In his discussion of virtual reality and virtual minds the author is not afraid to look hundred years or more ahead. Also, when buying this book be prepared to read serious philosophy, you'll discuss Plato, Descartes, continental and analytical philosophy.
