Includes an original comic set in the world of In real life. Originally published by First Second. In Real Life was adapted from a story by Cory Doctorow called 'Anda's Game' first published on Salon.com in 2004.
Summary:
Anda loves Coarsegold Online, the massively-multiplayer role playing game that she spends most of her free time on. It's a place where she can be a leader, a fighter, a hero. It's a place where she can meet people from all over the world, and make friends. Gaming is, for Anda, entirely a good thing. But things become a lot more complicated when Anda befriends a gold farmer a poor Chinese kid whose avatar in the game illegally collects valuable objects and then sells them to players from developed countries with money to burn.
