"Ethan Gilsdorf's quest for himself leads through the fantasy world of millions of gamers in a breathless adventure/quest/memoir that is uniquely contemporary. This is at once a primer on the world of gaming, a self-help manual, and a wistful meditation on the passing of real time in a (nearly) virtual world."
Andrei Codrescu author of The Posthuman Dada Guide
"This is a delightful book--more fun that being a Dungeon Master to a group of high-level mages and thieves."
A. J. Jacobs author of The Year of Living Biblically
