Reviews"This work serves as an excellent consideration of the world of EVE Online for any researcher."--American Journal of Play, " Internet Spaceships Are Serious Business is one of the most comprehensive collections of works on EVE Online ever produced, but written in language that is accessible to the uninitiated reader. It captures a side of EVE that is often lost in academic writings, and each chapter stands as a snapshot in time of one of the world's most unique and well-studied massively multiplayer online games."--Brendan Drain, MMO expert "A book as unique as EVE itself--it will make you think, help you understand a game you may never play, and afford a glimpse onto a less traveled byway of the gaming universe. The roster of authors is delightfully varied, with contributions from archivists, developers, players, PhD students, and researchers, broadening inquiry into a thoughtful, engaging treatment of a cherished game."--Bonnie Nardi, author of My Life as a Night Elf Priest: An Anthropological Account of "World of Warcraft"*\ "By addressing everything from collaboration to conflict, from economics to embodiment, the authors of Internet Spaceships Are Serious Business use the specific case study of EVE Online to investigate how emerging digital technologies reshape selfhood and society."--Tom Boellstorff, author of Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human
