Even Asteroids Are Not Alone

Original title Even Asteroids Are Not Alone

[mlsid]

Like roaming asteroids we move through space: never alone, forming deep bonds along the way. Hundreds of thousands of online gamers mine, trade and fight their way through computer-generated galaxies far, far away from the world as we know it. In the vast and hostile world of New Eden, no one can really be trusted. How to make friends in the cold depths of space? Weaving together the experiences of fourteen Eve Online players we reveal a striking story about the ability of online games to forge communities and bridge the void between us.
