Feel free to put it back if you can find a cite. — Hex (❝?!❞) 22:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
I would like to add some links showing where I got the info about the military use of a virtual world. Since there are none in this item right now, I'll drop them here and come back later once I'm hip to the method.

Simulacron-3 (1964) (also published as Counterfeit World), by Daniel F. Galouye, is an American science fiction novel featuring one of the earliest literary descriptions of virtual reality.
Weinbaum’s “Pygmalion's Spectacles” predates this by three decades. The “ Like-subject works” section lists several more precursors. (One might be led to believe that the section was appended in order to undermine the above claim.)
I chose to mark the statement as “dubious” rather than delete it because it presently serves as a thesis statement for the article. Perhaps someone familiar with the work could make the claim more specific, or find some other remarkable aspect of the work. (We could otherwise just end the sentence at “novel”.) — Dan337 ( talk) 06:34, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
