  • Abstract
    The boundaries between virtual reality and physical reality are becoming ever more blurred as activities in cyber worlds bleed into everyday life and sophisticated software now crosses the line from digital interaction to physical destruction. This paper examines what might be learned from the real-world exploits of the sophisticated software worm known as Stuxnet and from the speculations and extrapolations of fictional counterparts.
