where you can buy a print copy or download a free e-copy of Julian Dibbell’s _My Tiny Life: Crime and Passion in a Virtual World_.

“Julian Dibbell’s My Tiny Life remains, to this day, the best book written about what it is like to live immersed in a virtual world. The fact that the world in question in text-based, and the events described happened over a decade ago, is completely irrelevant. You cannot call yourself knowledgeable about virtual worlds unless you have read this book.”
