This week's book pick is For the Win by Cory Doctorow.

Online gaming has become an industry, and there are people everywhere playing to make a living. Unjust labor practices exist even for workers in the virtual world, however, and while some are only just beginning to understand how much they are being exploited, there are others who are ready to fight. Led by Big Sister Nor, a girl most have never even met in person, the workers are eager to go into virtual battle. The trouble is, just about everybody else (corporations, hit men, even other gamers) will do anything they can to stop them.
