Next Friday, September 29, I will present in Second Life "Mondi virtuali", the book about virtual worlds that I wrote with Aurélien Pfeffer.
The book was published in April and it is a survey about this new social phaenomenon. It affords this theme from different points of view: economical, political, gaming-oriented, historical and sociological. There are many interviews, with Edward Castronova, TL Taylor, Wagner James Au, Mia Consalvo, Betsy Book, and the prefaction by JC Herz.
A quite new perspective in the book is the touristical one: in fact here we say that these worlds could become a new frontier for travels.
The presentation will be in Second Life, in the Parioli district (Parioli, 126,128,40), on Friday at noon SL time.
Just a short question on the book:
ReplyDeleteIt is in italian language, right?
yes, I hope one day it will be translated in English.
