$11 Million Makes the Whole Thing Seem More Real

This writer owes some of his worldly successes to the tremendously talented writer, Kevin Guilfoile, author of the amazing book, Cast of Shadows (we won’t go into why — we’ll just say he’s a friend and we’re very grateful for him). If you’re at all familiar with the book, you’ll remember that a section of it takes places in a fictional online universe called Shadow World. And if you do know that, you were probably as shocked as we were when you heard about this very real online game thingie, Second Life, which, for all intents and purposes, is just the lo-fi grandparent of Kevin’s online world.
