Betrayal: Book Three of Allies and Adversaries by Kevin Gordon

Virt-life: the standard to record live events. Not only was the event captured in the same detail that was captured by the souman senses including the sight, the taste in the air, the feeling on one’s skin and body, the sounds, but also the mental image of not only the recorder, but the recorded, so long as the recorded party had an implant. There was even technology that could scan the mental impressions made by the object being recorded. What was made was a near-perfect duplication of the event itself, giving the viewer the feeling of being right there.
