GOOISE MEREN, the Netherlands: Lente Cuenen’s house sways from side to side in the slight afternoon breeze. It is a snug space. At one end are her bed, a couch and a small TV. At the other a toilet cubicle, the kitchen, her workstation and a table cluttered with curios.
There is a lime green Nintendo DS Lite with its wire-guts spilling out, a 12-volt battery abandoned after a failed attempt at charging her iPhone and a stack of video game cases, including one for Ship Simulator 2008.
