Roquet's analysis of virtual reality uncovers how it is reshaping the politics of labor, gender, home, and nation. He examines how VR in Japan diverged from American militarism and techno-utopian visions, becoming a tool for renegotiating personal space. When digital platforms continue encroaching on everyday life, "The Immersive Enclosure" takes a critical look at attempts to jettison existing social realities and offers a bold new approach for understanding the media environments to come.
