This week on The Infinite Mind, the fourth installment of our special series, "Through the Looking Glass", examining the world of virtual on-line communities. This week, in part four, we examine The Transmission of Experience. Accompany host John Hockenberry as he interviewsis joined live in Second Life by author Kurt Vonnegut, whose writing has chronicled the intersection of humanity and technology. From his books Slaughterhouse Five and Cat’s Cradle, to his latest work Man Without a Country, what does the literary titan from the typewriter era make of this new revolutionary medium? Find out for yourself by clicking here and viewing the interview in Second Life. In the second half of the show, executive producer of The Infinite Mind, Bill Lichtenstein, will read from his essay The Transmission of Experience and further explore the potential of 3D virtual reality and the transmission of experience over a digital cable, and what this revolutionary medium can do that books, radio, TV and film just can't. The show will conclude with commentary by John Hockenberry as we look back on this landmark four-part series that largely taped for broadcast, in front of a live audience, from inside The Infinite Mind's virtual studios and broadcast center in Second Life.
