These Alice-inspired images were created for Armadillo Medical Communications to illustrate an evolutionary hypothesis known as ’The Red Queen Effect’ Its name is of course inspired by the Red Queen’s race in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass.

The brains at PC Review magazine clearly thought it was a possibility and Matt’s illustration of their feature article predicted we would be so engrossed in our virtual worlds that the real world around us would be immaterial, abandoned and destroyed.
