The Broken World has definately made it into my favorite book shelf.
The story is a true geeky/gamers type story.
It follows the life a guy writing a walkthrough for a game known as 'The Broken World'. The game in itself is full of complexities and an amazing story in itself, and does (if I may say) sound like a pretty immense gaming experience, that I would definately play, haha.
The authors of the walkthrough uses it as a kind of online journal as well as a gamer guide, and this is how you get to know him and the things he is encountering in his life outside of the game. The game and the authors life have similar issues in some part and they gel together really well.
I would definately reccommend this is if you have a bit of a geeky gamer side.
