This is an important book that covers every level of virtual interaction: sociology, geography, law, gender, economics, history, sex, and virtual life in general. The reason why I value this is because of something Ezra Pound said about good literature being News that stays news. Even though this is talking about a text-based virtual space, it still applies now with 3D synthetic environments. AND IT'S FREE!! Julian Dibbell talks about how it came to be free, but not Creative Common. Which reminds me, I need to add a CC license to this place. /me adds it to his list of to-dos.
