World of Warcraft and Philosophy

World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role playing game. It causes more and more real world events, as people marry individuals they have met in the game, and real-world financial markets thrive in virtual WoW property. This book offers an exploration of the thrilling, addictive world of online videogames.

What are the dangers when real life is invaded by events in the game? What can our own world learn from Azeroth's blend of primitivism and hightech? A specially commissioned guild of philosophers tackles these and other hard questions arising from WoW.
