Assume that virtual reality has reached a point such that it is indistinguishable from real life. Fantasy is like reality, and anything is possible in the VR.
Assume that this technology works by you putting a VR headset, being induced into a sort of sleep, in which you experience everything in your mind. Think Matrix or Sword Art Online, except there is no real danger.
Would you give up your life in the real world to spend most if not all of your time in a virtual reality world where anything is possible? Do you think you would be addicted? Hooked?
