在研究新数字技术对文化和社会的影响时，利维提出了"虚拟"的概念，并将其与"真实的"、"实际的"和"可能的"一起明确定义。“他展示了身体、文本和经济是如何虚拟的。然后，他揭示了互联网和网站现在如何将虚拟转化为与数字通信相关联的“集体智慧”。虽然利维同意许多当代科学哲学家的观点，认为这些变化正在产生一场文化革命，但他是唯一乐观的。他消除了那些认为技术会使社会失去人性的人的恐惧，证明了虚拟一直是人类思想的持久组成部分。
From the Publisher:
Examining the cultural and social impact of new digital technologies, Levy tackles the concept of "the virtual," clearly defining it alongside "the real," "the actual," and "the possible." He shows how the body, the text, and the economy, are made virtual. He then reveals how the Internet and web sites are now transforming the virtual into a "collective intelligence" linked to digital communication. Though Levy agrees with many contemporary philosophers of science that these changes are producing a cultural revolution, he is uniquely optimistic. Allaying the fears of those who think technology will dehumanize society, he demonstrates how the virtual has always been an enduring component of the human mind.
