I dug the article and am interested in the book. In particular, I liked how they mention that one of the reasons for the death of the lan party is that we don't own anything anymore. We don't host our own servers and technically don't own the games. It's something that I really despise in our current Everything-as-a-Service model of "ownership", and am glad they bring it up. A lot of these lan nostalgia articles I've come across fail to mention that. At least the ones I've read.

The lan party experience is one of the fondest I have with my friends before we all "grew up". I member putting seatbelt on my heavy af 24in CRT so it would travel safely to a party. That thing was so damn heavy! Ahh the memberries.
