For The Win by Cory Doctorow
I'm downloading Cory Doctorow's latest book, For The Win into my iPhone. From the book's description: "Millions of people around the globe are engrossed in multiplayer online games, questing and battling to win virtual gold, jewels, and precious artifacts. Meanwhile, others seek to exploit this vast shadow economy, running electronic sweatshops in the world’s poorest countries, where countless 'gold farmers' harvest virtual treasure for their employers to sell to First World gamers who are willing to spend real money to skip straight to higher-level gameplay."
