Not sure why I'm feeling so committed to finishing this. I'm not enjoying it, and I'm starting to wonder if it will ever, ever end. 
 As usual, Cory Doctorow has an interesting story, but buries it in a series of digressions on related topics (this time, online gaming culture and labor unions). He's obviously brilliant, but it's the kind of brilliance that can bog down his larger points.

 Annnnnnnnnnd we're done. Finally. Online gaming culture, virtual economies, and labor unions--all interesting topics, but between three major topics and the huge cast, the book is overambitious and doesn't hold together that well.
