Book Recommendation
-
If you have an interest in Persistent Worlds and the history and social dynamics thereof, may I suggest 'Empires of Eve', by Andrew Groen, which is a history of the nullsec empires of Eve Online from around 2003-2010. It's a very well-written, well-researched look by a serious journalist, and the sort of thing I sort of wish Narfell was big enough to merit.
It's of particular relevance now as the player power blocs of Eve are currently realigning in a major way, with the empire that has been on top of the heap since 2010 or so tottering and looking ready to fall; expect articles in the gaming press on it eventually.

Oh gosh….I was part of the nullsec wars in EvE back then with Band of Brothers. My alliance was on BoB's side. So many memories, so much time wasted.

Though I have never played Eve I always end up hearing about it because its always just that interesting, I had actually heard some big stuff was indeed going down and you're now the third person to recommend this so I guess I really should hunker down and give it a read.
