About This Item

Michigan: University of Michigan Press / University of Michigan Library, 2009. Reprint ed.. Paperback small octavo, very good condition, base spine & top edge little creased, minor edgewear. 213 pp. In 2000, Jim Rossignol was fired from my job as a finance reporter because of an obsession with a video game. So begins this story of personal redemption through the unlikely medium of electronic games. Quake, World of Warcraft, Eve Online, and other online games not only offered author Jim Rossignol an excellent escape from the tedium of office life. They also provided him with a diverse global community and a job - as a games journalist. Part personal history, part travel narrative, part philosophical reflection on the meaning of play, describes Rossignol's encounters in three cities: London, Seoul, and Reykjavik. Introduces us to a vivid and largely undocumented world of gaming lives.
