Old Bean's Last Fantasy
When fantasy becomes reality, is age just a number?Seventy-five-year-old Bertie Glazer longs to be part of Seattle's vibrant technology culture. So, when her teenage granddaughter introduces her to online games and then to something strange called "the metaverse," she jumps right in. After all, it's never too late to try new things. But how do you adapt to an immersive 3D environment without losing sight of reality? How do you know what's real when you-rather than your avatar-experience erotic feelings? As Bertie grapples with these questions, she comes dangerously close to losing touch with all that is most precious to her.Ultimately, what emerges in Old Bean's Last Fantasy is not just an intriguing ride through a virtual world of amorous possibilities, but a fascinating and candid look at late-life invisibility.
