The book is so interesting that it actually has a (somewhat rudimentary) Companion Website featuring the book’s brief introduction chapter.

If you’re in Denmark, here’s a list of fine web book stores that will be happy to ship the book to you.

If you’re in the UK, you can get it directly from Routledge.

It’s 16.99 UK Pounds / 29.95 USD, took some time to write, and we do hope you buy it :-)

All are welcome.

Update:

As we see here the candidate assumed a rather laidback position, a position not really changed throughout the event.

The panel consisting of David Buckingham, Jørgen Bang, and Espen Aarseth convince the candidate that they are really nice guys after all.

Well, duh! – but I started a small count and actually, the number of game PhD’s to be is quite impressive.
Below is a list of people that I can think of, top of my head, who are speeding towards ludic doctor-hood.

But first the ones who made it (strong focus on games only):
- Mary Ann Buckles (see post on Ludology.org)
- Espen Aarseth (no decent link, as Dr. Aarseth believes the WWW thing will blow over)
- Lisbeth Klastrup
- Jesper Juul
- Lars Konzack
- Dmitri Williams

En route (in order of randomness):
- Gonzalo Frasca, IT University of Copenhagen
- Miguel Sicart, IT University of Copenhagen
- Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen, IT University of Copenhagen
- Sara Mosberg, IT University of Copenhagen
- Troels Folmann, IT University of Copenhagen
- Jonas Heide Smith, IT University of Copenhagen
- Chek Yang Foo, Curtin University of Technology
- Mirjam Eladhari, Gotland University
- Elina Koivisto, Nokia Research Center (Finland)
- Lisa Galarneau, University of Waikato
- Constance Steinkuehler, University of Wisconsin–Madison
- Kristine Jørgensen, University of Copenhagen
- Gitte Stald, University of Copenhagen
- Charlie Breindahl, University of Copenhagen
- Anne Mette Thorhauge, University of Copenhagen
- Marinka Copier, University of Utrecht
- Christian Ulrik Andersen, University of Århus
- Julian Kuecklich, Ulster University
- Peter Zackariasson, Umeå School of Business and Economics
- Laurie Taylor, University of Florida
- Sean Fenty, University of Florida

Okay, this list is hopelessly incomplete. Please tell me some of the names that my tired brain didn’t come up with.

We who are about to write salute you.

Update: Simon’s timely thesis will be the third game dissertation from our center. The two first were Lisbeth Klastrup‘s Toward a Poetics of Virtual Worlds and Jesper Juul‘s Half-Real (warning: Pretty big PDFs).
