Why read it?

1 author picked Empires of EVE as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

As someone who has played and enjoyed Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) before, I find the way they walk the line between fiction and nonfiction to be absolutely fascinating.

In this book, Andrew Groen approaches the players of the game Eve Online as a historian and chronicler, aiming to record the monumental events that took place within the confines of the game. The way that Groen wins the trust of these players, enabling him to tell a sprawling story of battles and betrayals that exist within a strange space, reality, and fiction, is wonderful.

From Chris' list on fictional non-fiction.
