That's not an entirely new idea.  The protagonist in Heinlein's Friday
was an artificial person who married into families twice, once being a
disaster, once being long term stable.

The individual who "crossed over" into a high speed virtual reality
would not be different enough from an AI to prevent marriage.

I think the apartheid split will be more between those who upload into
a million fold faster world and those who stay behind at human
thinking speeds.
