Description: Boellstorf did a magnificent job writing about his studies of the online virtual game, Second Life. He manages not only to present real world perceptions of online games, and more specifically Second Life, but also relays how the players of these games view it. In describing his interview with a woman named Fran, whom he had danced with in the game, he describes how while the dancing did not take place physically, it did not make their experience any less real. This series of memes, all acquired from Google Images, help to describe the book as a whole, and the observations he acquired during his field work. Enjoy!
