    Disappointing read
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2009*

I bought this book because I work in the computer game industry and have a long-term interest in virtual worlds and societies.  Unfortunately, this book turns out to be a fairly random collection of essays and papers about virtual communities that are of very mixed quality and are not tied together in any coherent way.  Some appear to be extremely technical sociological discussions using arcane academic terminology and referencing prior studies that I was quite unfamiliar with.  Others are useless descriptions of online communities that anybody at all familiar with online communities would find completely obvious.  I'm left rather baffled by what the editor of this book was thinking when selecting the essays.  Although there were one or two vaguely interesting ones, they mostly fell into either highly technical professional writing not appropriate for a general audience, or "how I learned to use myspace" type categories, neither of which were what I expected from the title and description of the book.  Not recommended.
