by Zek Valkyrie (Author)
This book explores how after 20 years of existence, virtual world games have evolved: the social landscapes within digital worlds have become rigid and commodified, and "play" and "fun" have become rational and mechanical products.
• Explains how social rigidity in digital communities often robs these spaces of experimentation and identity play
• Suggests that new technologies such as virtual reality are unlikely to revolutionize the media or cause dramatic social change
