Second Life reminded me a lot of the book "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson (which I had read in the early 90s), and I heard that book was actually an inspiration for Second Life..

That's a good question about how popular Second Life would be if it came out now.  For a while, I've been hearing that a lot of people have replaced their traditional computers at home with a smartphone or tablet..
