MY LIFE AS A NIGHT ELF PRIEST cover

Compiles more than three years of participatory research in Warcraft play and culture in the US and China. Nardi introduces us to the history, structure, and culture of Warcraft; argues for applying activity theory and theories of aesthetic experience to the study of gaming and play; and educates us on issues of gender, culture, and addiction as part of the play experience. In doing so she paints a compelling portrait of what drives gamers online in the US and China.
