Farmville for Dummies? Coming soon to a bookstore near you

There is an upcoming book called Farmville for Dummies. Let's all sit back for a moment and bask in the fact we live in a world where such a work exists.

The book may seem like an easy punchline to a joke no one is telling, but coauthor Kyle Orland has been writing about games for a long time, for publications such as Joystiq, NPR, and now Gamasutra. We asked him to justify the existence of the book and, surprisingly, he has some compelling arguments.
