[edit] Biography
In 2007 Dalian Hansen became the first virtual entity to write a complete work of fiction as a computer-simulated individual. [2] His entire book, ANIMA: a novel about Second Life was Avatar-typed within Second Life on a series of notecards. These electronic documents were then exported to real life where he spellchecked and polished the text.
