Her book, as you mention, really incorporates a lot of previous work on WoW, but also serves as a springboard for asking other questions about this particular world.

Also from a practical standpoint, I’m really glad that she wrote about such a wide array of topics so convincingly so that I can cite it every time someone asks me the inevitable questions: “What about addiction?” “Is it work or play?” “What about the magic circle?”
Just read Nardi, it’ll all become clear.
