Robbie Cooper's Alter Egos book looks great. Real people, real avatars, that kind of thing is always interesting reading. Anyways, New Scientist have a nifty little piece up which shows a highlight reel of some of the book's more noteable characters, but which is narrated by Cooper.

If anything, it's a nifty showcase for the book, since the photos are all quite snappy, especially the gentleman with the cane and hat, and his soothing tones give some nice insight into some of the characters he's chosen. Audio commentary for books! So nuts. Welcome to 2007!
