From the desk of Amy Birkenstock:
It seems as though my virtual alterego, Fizzy Oceans, is keeping some pretty high-brow company.
Recently THE VIRTUAL LIFE OF FIZZY OCEANS was chosen by The Four Bridges Project as its premier Book Club selection.
The Four Bridges Project is a living, active, international community of individuals and organizations. As a community, we are committed to the four principles of human rights, social and economic justice, respect for nature, and a culture of peace. We share our resources: space, venues, media, technology, as well as knowledge and skills. Communities are living systems, and at Four Bridges, we are exploring new dimensions in community.
Educational institutions, non-profits, businesses and individuals are connected to each other. Whether in the physical world or through virtual spaces, we collaborate on mutual goals and build the bridges that connect our diverse community by respecting the strengths of our component parts.
There is no separation between what we do in virtual worlds and what happens through our efforts in the physical world. We bring awareness, community, and hope to all the worlds. Our organization is constantly seeking new ideas, new projects, and new organizations to add to the mix. The Four Bridges Project is a shining example of how we can use the virtual world to connect internationally and confront the most pressing issues.
At the launch of The Four Bridges Book Club, Fizzy Oceans author David A. Ross appeared at the Four Bridges SIM in Second Life and spoke to a sizable gathering about the book and about VL in general. The event was hosted by Four Bridges founder Millay Freshi.

Another important endorsement was given to the novel when it was added to the syllabus of the Pop!Tech symposium at the University of Maine in Camden. Here's a look in brief at the Pop!Tech 2012 agenda:
