A read of the lead (How a hologram, a blimp, and a massively multiplayer game could bring peace to the Holy Land.
) and a cursory search on Yitzhaq Hayutman, the subject of the write-up suggests the possibility that the article Apocalypse Now in this month’s Wired is an April Fool’s joke, but a little bit of digging turns up Proposed Infrastructure-research: Display media for human communications (searches: hayutman ezrahi, hayutman berkeley).
Anyway, it seems it’s not fiction, just well, far out enough to be. (note also, that the site hasn’t been touched for years)
