Philip Rosedale: How Cultures and Societies Emerge Online

Second Life, created by Philip Rosedale, was an online virtual world platform that took the world by storm in the 2000s. Astoundingly enough, the platform still maintains about one million regular users who, for a lack of a better way to put it, live a second life there. Second Life never set out to be a game, but rather an organic world where any set of possibilities can happen. As a result, true life, culture and societies started to form organically. In this episodes, we explore the elements and factors that made such an unusual occurrence to happen.
