That author bio doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence in the book being good.

Merritt K is a writer, editor and podcaster living in New York. She is the creator of Forgotten Worlds, a video series exploring Y2K-era internet culture, as well as several works of interactive fiction. Regrettably, she never owned anything resembling a gaming PC during the heyday of the LAN party.

One thing we generally did not abide back in those days was non-gamers commenting on gaming matters.

Historians are weird, and you have a point.

>she

I was immediately suspicious about a girl writing a book about LAN parties without framing them as racist or sexist. Some light digging confirmed my suspicions. Check out >her YouTube channel with the volume up and I think you'll agree

That's weird.

Central WA had some great geek get togethers.
