Alter Ego

I want to get this book Alter Ego- photographs of avatars and the people who play them.

See the slideshow (with audio).

Great find. I actually posted about this after seeing it here but can't work out how to use trackback. And I'm usually pretty tech savvy. I think the book would be entertaining but only for a short burst - you flip through the lovely photos and read the bits of text, it all takes about an hour and it's great while it lasts but then, once you've seen the photos, the novelty wears off. Unless there's more text than I think...

Is this related at all to the game of the same name?

www.ego-city.com.

Its a Sims meets Myspace social networking game for playable on your phone and PC.
