Warning: this post contains spoilers for In Real LifeĪimed more or less at a young adult audience, it's about a lot of things - being a young woman in 2014, being a woman gamer, MMOs, online friendships, acceptance and internet culture. It's about a 16-year-old named Anda and her adventures as part of a woman-only clan in a popular MMO (called "Coursegold Online") based not-so-subtly on World of Warcraft. In Real Life ( IRL) is a new graphic novel from Cory Doctorow and Jen Wang.
