The study of online gaming is changing. It is no longer enough to analyse one type of online community in order to understand the plethora of players who take part in online worlds and the behaviours they exhibit. MacCallum-Stewart studies the different ways in which online games create social environments and how players choose to interpret these. These games vary from the immensely popular social networking games on Facebook such as Farmville to Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games to "Free to Play" online gaming and console communities such as players of Xbox Live and PS3 games. Each chapter deals with a different aspect of social gaming online, breaking down when games are social and what narrative devices make them so. This cross-disciplinary study will appeal to those interested in cyberculture, the evolution of gaming technology, and sociologies of media.

This suspenseful tale of a glamorous marriage, a reckless affair, and a vengeful obsession is “deliciously readable” (Daily Mail). Tom and Octavia Fleming glitter among the chattering classes of London in the late 1990s. Tom, a brilliant political strategist, and Octavia, an equally talented charity consultant, appear to have it all—good looks, money, success, and three pretty children—everything but precious time together. The truth is Tom is having an affair—and when Octavia realizes it, she plots her revenge against her husband. But nothing prepares Octavia for the identity of Tom’s mistress, and her misdemeanors hardly compare to the revenge enacted by the other woman after Tom calls it off . . . Described by Dominick Dunne as a writer “with verve and heart, immersing the reader in a world of engrossing and unforgettable glamour and passion,” and praised by Barbara Taylor Bradford as “marvelously engrossing,” Penny Vincenzi presents a novel packed with twists, trysts, and thrills. “Exposes the cracks in a British ‘power marriage’ and charts the frightening evolution of a spurned woman’s love into a dangerous obsession . . . [A] deft, swift contemporary epic.” —Publishers Weekly
