Publisher's summary

Search the Ethernet is set in a quiet neighborhood in Central City, in Some State, in the US. The characters include a single mom, her children and dog, and a gaming group who are meeting for an evening of fun, as well as a lot of people who know how to say, “I don’t think I can help you." It encapsulates a crisis on what should have been a quiet evening of just hanging out online and having fun.

You will enjoy this story if you:

  • Play role-playing games, on screen or table-top
  • Like mystery stories
  • Enjoy family-oriented short stories
  • Believe that we are all responsible for each other in this world
  • Have online friends
  • Believe that online friends are more than a pixel paper dolls
  • Know someone who substitutes gaming for activities because they are ill or disabled
  • Have ever realized you only know someone by their character name
  • Like stories based on the Heinleinian writing principal of “if this goes on”
  • Know someone who has cancer, diabetes, or any other debilitating illness

This story is about the friendships that can be forged online through MMORPG’s and is for the good friends I have made through my guild.
