For the Win by Cory Doctorow

Any gamers out there?  This one’s for you.  Wei-Dong lives in L.A. and lives for playing MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role playing games) like World of Warcraft or SkyRim.  He’s picked up a bunch of friends from China to go on raids with him, but what Wei-Dong doesn’t know is that his friends are actually “gold farmers,” playing the game as a job, amassing game wealth that can be sold to Western players at a mark-up.  When he finds out how his friends are being exploited, he knows he has to push back.  He teams up with his friends and start planning a rebellion, one the likes of which no one has seen before.  What starts as an in game revolution turns into a real life protest that can have deadly consequences for all involved.
