Amazon.com: Is Castronova Book Really About Online Whores?

by Idoru Wellman, literary cooking student

Amazon using sex to sell books?

Based on Amazon.com’s current listing of Edward Castronova’s latest literary effort as "Exodus to the Virtual World: Ho Online Fun Is Changing Reality", it appears the Second Life online escort service business really is having an impact on reality. Certainly a number of Second Life residents will concur, as virtual call girls and rent boys make literally thousands of L$ spacebux in exchange for their services - while presumably having fun at the same time.

Or is this an unfortunate virtual bait-and-switch caused by sloppy proofreading at Amazon? If that is the case, perhaps Mr. Castronova - a dedicated World of Warcraft player - might want to tear himself away from his game and mention to Amazon that they have his book mis-titled? Good luck with getting it out of the Google cache.
