Hello World: travels in virtuality

Be the first to favourite this.

‘Hello World’ is the story of a life online. Part travelogue, part memoir, Sue Thomas draws on her online travels as well as her physical journeys in the USA, Australia, Spain and England. While the book is non-fiction, it is a direct descendent of ‘Correspondence’, Thomas’ extraordinary novel that also deals with the synergies between digital and physical worlds.

First published in 2004.
