Love Philippe is an online guru who dispenses daily insights on his blog to a devoted following. When he founds Love Academy, thousands flock to enrol. Suddenly Love disappears, and no-one knows how to find him or the college staff. An elderly professor, Horace Romansky, accepts the students free of charge at Hinterlife University, a online rival of Love Academy. Their learning and socialisation occur in a bizarre world of blog postings, tweets, and virtual reality.'The World of Love Philippe' captures the colourful activities of online education in a collection of conference transcripts, interviews, infomercials, how-to-succeed guide books, and a culminating play. The overall objective is to highlight the comical nonsense generated by academics online and off.
