From the Chronicle’s The Second Life of Peter J. Ludlow: “It’s hard to imagine a shy professor dodging bullets, outing swindlers, and taking on the government as an intrepid journalist. But Peter J. Ludlow has pulled it off — sort of. He leads an audacious life, but only online. As the digital character Urizenus, he muckrakes in virtual worlds and describes as dictatorial the companies that run them. His reporting can be read in the brassy, tabloid-style Web newspaper he founded, the Second Life Herald.”
