Anda loves Coarsegold Online, the massively-multiplayer role
playing game that she spends most of her free time on. It's a place
where she can be a leader, a fighter, a hero. It's a place where
she can meet people from all over the world, and make friends.
Gaming is, for Anda, entirely a good thing.
But things become a lot more complicated when Anda befriends a
gold farmer -- a poor Chinese kid whose avatar in the game
illegally collects valuable objects and then sells them to players
from developed countries with money to burn. This behavior is
strictly against the rules in Coarsegold, but Anda soon comes to
realize that questions of right and wrong are a lot less
straightforward when a real person's real livelihood is at
stake.
From acclaimed teen author Cory Doctorow and rising star
cartoonist Jen Wang, "In Real Life" is a sensitive, thoughtful look
at adolescence, gaming, poverty, and culture-clash.
