I'm reading this for a class and am totally amazed by it. Mind blowing stuff. Play Money: Or, How I Quit My Day Job and Made Millions Trading Virtual Loot I remember hearing about this phenomenon a few years ago. I laughed, I thought it was a media sensation, I pretty much forgot about it. The whole idea was just too ridiculous to take seriously. However, in the first three parts of Play Money, Julian Dibbell gives enough background, enough empirical data, and enough of an introduction to the real people who are making real money in MMORPG’s (Massive Multi Player Role Playing Games) to bring the idea from the realms of the ridiculous and into the realm of the real, albeit with a certain surreal quality to it all.
