Technology is bringing postmodernism down to
earth itself; the story of technology refuses modernist
resolutions and requires an openness to
multiple viewpoints. Multiple viewpoints call
forth a new moral discourse. The culture of simulation
may help us achieve a vision of a multiple
but integrated identity whose flexibility,
resilience, and capacity for joy comes from having
access to our many selves. But if we have
lost reality in the process, we shall have struck a
poor bargain. (Turkle, 1996)
