What is the value of eLife?

How has wireless technology affected our society and each of us as individuals? Do Twitter, Facebook and other trendy communication platforms enhance our relationships with other or allow us to drift further into isolation with the illusion of increased socialization?

Imagine how different your own life would be if your only interactions with other human beings were though electronic media. Imagine further that your interaction with the entire planet was only via electronic media - that you never again smelled a freshly peeled orange or felt the warmth of the sun on your skin. How would your hopes, dreams, loves and fears be changed? What if such a life could mean immortality? Would you choose it?

These are some of the questions that the characters of The Moravec Threshold will face.
