In Real Life
Cory Doctorow, Jen Wang
Anda loves Coarsegold Online, the
massively-multiplayer role-playing game where she spends most of her
free time. It's a place where she can be a leader, a fighter, a hero.
It's a place where she can meet people from all over the world, and make
friends.
But things become a lot more complicated when Anda
befriends a gold farmer--a poor Chinese kid whose avatar in the game
illegally collects valuable objects and then sells them to players from
developed countries with money to burn. This behavior is strictly
against the rules in Coarsegold, but Anda soon comes to realize that
questions of right and wrong are a lot less straightforward when a real
person's real livelihood is at stake.
From acclaimed teen author (Little Brother, For the Win) and Boing Boing editor Cory Doctorow and Koko Be Good creator Jen Wang, In Real Life is a perceptive and high-stakes look at adolescence, gaming, poverty, and culture clash.
