In Real Life by Cory Doctorow
A teenage gamer who spends most of her free time in a massively multiplayer online game discovers the real-world labor and exploitation behind the virtual economy; as she learns about low-paid “gold farmers” and the corporate structures that benefit from them, she becomes involved in organizing players and workers to challenge unfair practices, forcing her to confront questions of identity, power, friendship and the boundary between online and offline life.
