For the Win

Cory Doctorow mashes together a story about gold farming and how it relates to global economies with lectures on financial markets and labor unions. It feels like a decent story could have come from one or the other, but both together (and a handful of characters for each) makes for a way-too-long slog. Pirate Cinema and Little Brother were so good, leaving this book only so-so.

Kudos to the author for some realistic and fairly creative descriptions of online games that don't exist (yet). Groans to the author for using a waggled chin 19 times - I didn't search for variations on that.
