This article reminds me of one of the Pendragon books: http://djmachalebooks.com/books/pendragon/the-reality-bug/ http://djmachalebooks.com/books/pendragon/the-reality-bug/ In the book, the protagonist discovers a world in which people have abandoned reality in favor of a more enjoyable virtual world. As a result, society declines to the point where the real world is crumbling down. Not saying that's what will happen, but it's an interesting read.
