More Than a Game - The Computer Game as Fictional Form (Paperback, New)

Whether you love them or loathe them, look back with wistful nostalgia to the days of Pong and Space Invaders, or regard the whole phenomenon with blank incomprehension, there is no doubt that computer and video games now occupy a significant place in contemporary popular culture. The economics alone are staggering, with unit sales counted in the millions. The frequency of assertions in the popular press about the dangerous influence of their violent subject matter and immersive potential imply a startling level of influence. To disregard the computer game is to refuse to engage fully with contemporary popular culture.
