The August 2007 edition of Technology Review has a good article called Second Earth - combining ideas of Second Life, Google Earth, Mirror Worlds (Gelernter, 1991). This is the core of what Parallel World Labs is about and is doing (and has done since the Expo 2005 Virtual Canada project). Worth a look for those with some interest in the topic area.
