"Virtual Humans: Today and Tomorrow", by David Burden and Maggi Savin-Baden

A lucid survey of the coming era of digital beings—where avatars negotiate, autonomous agents emote, and simulated presence reshapes how we work, play, and understand each other. A quiet reminder that as our virtual selves grow more capable, the boundary between “person” and “process” becomes less a line and more a gradient. A book for anyone navigating the new etiquette of shared realities.
