Cory Doctorow tiene un nuevo cuento licenciado con Creative Commons en Salon y va de un tema que he tocado antes y que me parecer muy interesante: el intercambio de dinero por valores virtuales en juegos en línea, los llamados MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games). En sus palabras:
Salon has just published a brand-new short story of mine, called "Anda's Game," which is a riff on the way that property-rights are coming to games, and on the bizarre spectacle of sweat-shops in which children are paid to play the game all day in order to generate eBay-able game-wealth. When I was a kid, there were arcade kings who would play up Gauntlet characters to maximum health and weapons and then sell their games to nearby players for a dollar or two -- netting them about $0.02 an hour -- but this is a very different proposition indeed.
A ver cuántos viajes en autobús me toma :) El anuncio completo y un extracto aquí (ver lo que dice sobre el título)
