. . . is the Web site of Mark Wallace, a journalist and editor residing in Brooklyn, New York. As a freelance writer, my work these days concentrates on computer games and their interplay with the broader culture. I'm especially interested in the class of games known as "massively multiplayer online games," in which thousands of people are networked in to the same virtual world. I maintain a blog about them (among other things), called Walkerings. With Peter Ludlow (who's a lot more fun than he looks in this photo), I'm currently at work on a book about such games. Tentatively titled Only A Game: Online Worlds and the Virtual Journalist Who Knew Too Much, the book will narrate Peter's adventures in The Sims Online, and our continuing endeavors in the virtual world of Second Life. The book will be published in 2006 by O'Reilly Press. Over the last twelve-plus years, my journalism has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The Times (London), the weekend Financial Times, Details, Harper's and The Philadelphia Independent, among many other publications. I have written about high-school dropouts, cars, money, millionaires, crackpots and a host of other subjects. Many of these pieces can be found on this site. Many more have yet to be posted here. (I'm working on it.) For a long time I covered economic and political developments in the Arab Gulf and throughout the developing world as a contributing editor of the long-running fortnightly Gulf States Newsletter and managing editor of Euromoney's Emerging Markets newspapers. I've also covered the Federal Reserve Bank and the U.S. stock market. Along the way, I've been lucky enough to travel all over the world. Read reports from Brooklyn, Bahrain, Oman, the Most Serene Federal Republic of Montmartre and elsewhere. Feel free to get in touch |
