Q: VR technology making people too complacent to experience reality

user345249Is anyone else worried that the point at which VR technology supplants reality for us will come before the point at which we explore deep space (so we will be complacent with our fake space missions)?

Q: A children’s chapter book of a boy becoming a wizard’s apprentice and learning to shapeshift into a red fox

PippinIt could be published in the early 2000’s, and is probably in a similar age range to the early-mid Harry Potter novels. I think it may possibly have been set in a town along the coast (I keep thinking the coast of Maine, but I don’t know how accurate that is). The wizard can shapeshift into a gra...
