scheu's review against another edition
3.0
Back when this book was first released, I would have rated it a bit higher. You see, I had a certain interest in the book because I was there for all of the events therein - only a bit player, but I know which of the entirely-changed aliases is me. It all seemed so important then, but with the passage of time it now seems pretty inconsequential.
This was the spiritual parent of Second Life. No graphics, sure, but it was the same animal. All the promises and pitfalls already happened fifteen years ago.
The book itself is interesting if you're curious about the study of online socialisation. For me, it's all a little too close.
