Anda’s Game

Cory Doctrow is a great writer. One of his short stories was published by Salon in 2004 under the creative commons license, and I just found a copy of it that doesn’t require one to go through the trouble of a Salon registration. Have a read, especially if you’re addicted to MMORPG’s.

    I’m not, but damn you, now I want to go and play WoW.  I will send this to some junkies though, so they can be ever so slightly vindicated.  It actually does a semi-ok job of giving a feel for how such things are actually rather more fun than they appear to the casual observer, something like this garnering a widespread audience might actually give them a margin of social legitimacy.  Heh.

    Yes.   I recall a similar model existing in .hack//SIGN and Tad William’s Otherland.  People in an online world making a living playing their game.   I really like the idea, and yet, I find it kind of creepy.
