Read 'My Tiny Life' Free
We recently raved about Julian Dibbell's Wired article treating the phenomenon of internet subcultures that have given rise to virtual worlds griefing behavior, and now it's worth pointing out another item of his work: one of his books, with the hefty title "My Tiny Life: Crime and Passion in a Virtual World (Being a True Account of the Case of the Infamous Mr. Bungle and the Author's Journey, in Consequence Thereof, to the Heart of a Half-Real World Called LambdaMOO)."
Even though Dibbell's writing, 'Part memoir and part ethnography," is about a text-based precursor to the online environments we know today, the immersion factor is no less relevant in his truthful, descriptive account of living a virtual life. Like the Wired article, another must-read! Especially since Dibbell has just made the entire works available as a free .pdf from Lulu. If you dislike reading on your computer, you can purchase a proper paper copy from Lulu, too.
