New World Tableau: Truthseeker Young in Extropia

"That's me, Truthseeker Young, floating blissfully in the tank."  Having announced that, Mr. Young goes on to tell me how he took this photo in WindLight, outside his home in Extropia (direct SLURL teleport at this link).  "Total cheesey scif-fi book-cover bizness," he acknowledges, "but I love the colors and jumbled composition. There's something both peaceful and ominous about it... the tank's by Spider Carnot, and is an absolute must-have for sci-fi or cyberpunk-type setups. I mean LOOK at it!  How classic is that? I just use it to sleep out under the stars at night, though I'm not really into role playing. The UFO-looking thing behind it is my house, which I built myself.  And my avatar?  Well, that's just my avatar...it's not based on anything directly, but inspiration really struck after reading Charles Stross' Accelerando. I've got no real interest in importing any of my real life caste-attributes into SL (short of a basic human body-plan), and so I've pulled together one that most appropriately transmits the 'me-vibe' into our beloved consensual hallucination."

I met Truthseeker at a talk in Extropia a while back. I must admit his avatar was very striking...one of the most beautiful and creative I've seen in second life. Glad to see him highlighted here.

We're thrilled to include Truthseeker among the many brilliant creatives who call Extropia home.
