9780812696738: World of Warcraft and Philosophy: Wrath of the Philosopher King: 45 (Popular Culture and Philosophy)

Synopsis

These books teach philosophical wisdom by looking closely at entertainment icons. In each volume of this best-selling series, a team of sharp philosophical brains puts one pop culture icon (movie, TV show, or other topic) under the microscope, exposing its hidden philosophical implications in an instantly readable way. This book offers the first ever philosophical exploration of the thrilling, addictive world of online videogames. Recognized by the ""Guinness Book of World Records"" as the most popular ever MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game), World of Warcraft now has over eleven million subscribers worldwide. WoW is everywhere - from episodes of ""South Park"" and ""The Simpsons"", to online series like ""Watch the Guild"", accolades and awards from game critics, and prime-time commercials with Mr. T. Meanwhile, the game causes more and more real world events, as people marry individuals they have met in the game, real-world financial markets thrive in virtual WoW property, and real-world murders, lawsuits, and illnesses are provoked by the game. When does an assumed identity become real? Does the Corrupted Blood epidemic warn us of future public health catastrophes? What are the dangers when real life is invaded by events in the game? What can our own world learn from Azeroth's blend of primitivism and hightech? A specially commissioned guild of philosophers tackles these and other hard questions arising from WoW.
