[edit] Temp in-progess version

I'm working on a more thorough version of this article on my scratchpad, see User:Hooloovoo/Otherland for the work in progress. --Hooloovoo 23:45, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Just me

Is it just me or does the plotline of the .Hack series of anime/games/manga sopund awfully similar to Otherland's plot? --Kross 07:40, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)

The chronology is wrong; besides, the idea of being trapped in a virtual world is positively antique. --maru 21:10, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] It has been a while since I've read Otherland

But isn't Sam Fredericks' first name Salome? Not Samantha? I don't have the books on me to check, so I won't edit the article until I'm certain. --Talyma 02:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

I thought it was Sam, for what it is worth. It's been a while for me, too. --Maru (talk) 17:57, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Realistic?

Removed the section, "that paints a realistic picture of what our society may look like in the near future" as it is simply PoV. The books are fantasy hence being realistic is an oxymoron. Candy 04:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

The books aren't fantasy, they're science fiction. ;o)

But you're right, it certainly is POV. Changing to "a credible or believable picture" might be more acceptable - and accurate. --dllu 22:05, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
