How do we reconcile a videogame industry's insistence that games
positively affect human beliefs and behaviors with the equally
prevalent assumption that games are "just games"? How do we
reconcile accusations that games make us violent and antisocial and
unproductive with the realization that games are a universal source
of human joy? In Game are not, David Myers demonstrates that these
controversies and conflicts surrounding the meanings and effects of
games are not going away; they are essential properties of the
game's paradoxical aesthetic form. Games are not focuses on games
writ large, bound by neither digital form nor by cultural
interpretation. Interdisciplinary in scope and radical in
conclusion, Games are not positions games as unique objects evoking
a peculiar and paradoxical liminal state - a lusory attitude - that
is essential to human creativity, knowledge, and sustenance of the
species. -- .
