Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human
by Tom Boellstorff
by Tom Boellstorff
I can't speak to this book's significance within the field of anthropology or its methodological soundness, but it serves as a well-informed and well-written introduction to Second Life for a non-participant such as myself. The references back to classics of ethnographic research are charming, and the bibliography is truly excellent. This book also does nothing to dispel my impression that Second Life manages to be simultaneously boring and creepy.
