For the Win by Cory Doctorow
3.0

I loved [b:Little Brother|954674|Little Brother|Cory Doctorow|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349673129s/954674.jpg|939584] so I picked up For the Win, even though I might not have otherwise based on its description. I had a bit of a hard time getting into the complicated gamer world and gamer economies--I suspect diehard WoW fans might appreciate this book more, though I think Doctorow does about as good of a job as humanly possible to put everything in non-gamer terms. Still, the plot was engaging and I felt like I learned about economics from reading this. And I love reading about a good union struggle as much as the next leftie.
