Reviews
"Taylor's well-researched book provides a lively and engaging explanation of the social significance of online gaming. "Play Between Worlds" is essential, not just for scholars of gaming and computer-mediated communication, but for anyone interested in popular culture, social organization, and the relationships between leisure, socializing, and work in everyday life." --Lori Kendall, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, author of "Hanging Out in the Virtual Pub", A fascinating peek into the formal and social architecture that undergirds and shapes the cultural phenomena that is EverQuest., "An articulate and thoroughly researched work, "Play Between Worlds" is an intriguing look behind the curtain of the world's hottest entertainment phenomenon: virtual-world gaming. Unlike other academics who merely play tourist in these games, Taylor spent four years in one world and became part of the community. You get to reap the benefits of her close association with the people who make these worlds exciting: the players." --Jessica Mulligan, coauthor of Developing Online Games: An Insider's Guide, --Lori Kendall, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, author of "Hanging Out in the Virtual Pub", "T. L. Taylor's book takes the reader on a full-immersion tour of a virtual world, coupling solid academic discussion with vivid descriptions. A must-read for anyone interested in the ways in which this fascinating medium has developed and will continue to grow." -Raph Koster, former Chief Creative Officer, Sony Online Entertainment, "A fascinating peek into the formal and social architecture that undergirds and shapes the cultural phenomena that is EverQuest." Jane C. Park New Media and Society, "Reading "Play Between Worlds" is anything but grinding. Taylor has long been one of the most nuanced scholars of life in the massively multiplayer game world--someone who knows her orc from her dark elves, who understands the complex intertwining of online and offline identities, and who has interesting things to teach us about the ethics of power gaming. At the same time, she is someone who asks big questions about the relationship between work and play, about the debates surrounding gender and games, and about issues of online governance and intellectual property which will shape the future interactions between gamers and game companies. Each of the book's chapters could be read and taught on its own terms; taken as a whole, they add up to a vivid picture of a world where many of us are spending lots of time these days." --Henry Jenkins, Director of Comparative Media Studies, MIT, "A fascinating peek into the formal and social architecture that undergirds andshapes the cultural phenomena that is EverQuest."
