Book Description
What Does "IRL (In Real Life)" Really Mean in Today's Digital Age? It's easy and reflexive to view our online presence as fake, to see the internet as a space we enter when we aren't living our real, offline lives. Yet so much of who we are and what we do now happens online, making it hard to know which parts of our lives are real IRL, Chris Stedman's personal and searing exploration of authenticity in the digital age, shines a light on how age-old notions of realness--who we are and where we fit in the world--can be freshly understood in our increasingly online lives. Stedman offers a different way of seeing the supposed split between our online and offline selves: the internet and social media are new tools for understanding and expressing ourselves, and the not-always-graceful ways we use these tools can reveal new insights into far older human behaviors and desires. IRL invites readers to consider how we use the internet to fulfill the essential human need to feel real--a need many of us once met in institutions, but now seek to do on our own, online--as well as the ways we edit or curate ourselves for digital audiences. The digital search for meaning and belonging presents challenges, Stedman suggests, but also myriad opportunities to become more fully human. In the end, he makes a bold case for embracing realness in all of its uncertainty, online and off, even when it feels risky.

Book Description
If this would have been an item in the physical world, it would have been a book. And if you would pick that item up, you would be able to read something on the back of it. Now, since this is not a physical book, it is"just" an ebook, it has no back, thus, you cannot read anything on it. But even so, here it comes: This game you are currently playing, the IRL game, have you ever found any walk-through, rulebook or found any comprehensive guide online? I have not. So, based on my own game-play-experience, I will break down the game as best as I can, and give you my perspective on it so far. Speaking of perspectives. There only seems to be three rules in the IRL game that applies to every player. 1. The only truth is that there is no truth. 2. All choices, and non-choices, come with a consequence. 3. The only constant thing is that everything is constantly changing. Well, I just gave you the three biggest keys I've found so far. If they do not make sense, read the book and hopefully they will make sense. Or, perhaps, you will end up with more thoughts and questions than before you started to read? Who knows? Nobody knows! Or Whose nose? Nobody's nose, as Muddhedd brilliantly put it.

Book Description
Something is wrong in Bunker, Illinois. Nora Grace Moon thought her toughest challenge this semester would be managing her OCD, but when her deceased roommate turns up as a reanimated corpse, her world starts to collapse. When her uncle sends her a cryptic message, Nora realizes it must be a call for help. She reaches out to fellow gamer Wesley for advice, a US Marshal with real-life skills for tactical survival, not just in-game. They venture out into a world that is growing more and more deadly by the moment—not only are the undead spreading, but other humans are taking advantage of the societal breakdown. And unknown to Nora and Wesley, they have been targeted by an ancient archeological society who will stop at nothing until they have what Nora has: an artifact that will unleash a new world order of the undead. IRL is a paranormal thriller about leaving the online world and dealing with things "In Real Life."

“Cocoa” has made three best friends in her monthly meetup group, where girls get together every month to quell their sweet tooths by meeting up at the cutest and trendiest new dessert cafes. Cocoa is in it for the sweets-really!-but she's also harboring a few secrets: Not only does Cocoa have a crush on another one of the girls in the group, Opera, but she's actually a guy named Satoshi who's been cross-dressing in order to attend the all-girl group!

But Cocoa realizes that his attraction to Opera is more than clothing-deep, and as the two grow closer, they'll learn more about each other-and their own selves-than they could have ever imagined.
