The background to "The Xandra Function" is the ever increasingly competitive computer games industry, and what may happen when a computer programme absorbs enough human input from the next generation of totally immersive game playing involving complete human brain and computer memory interface. What will happen then? Can a computer differerentiate between what is "real" and what it thinks is "real"?
