The growth in popularity and complexity of video games has spurred
new interest in how games are developed and in the research and
technology behind them. David Heineman brings together some of the
most iconic, influential, and interesting voices from across the
gaming industry and asks them to weigh in on the past, present, and
future of video games. Among them are legendary game designers
Nolan Bushnell (Pong) and Eugene Jarvis (Defender), who talk about
their history of innovations from the earliest days of the video
game industry through to the present; contemporary trailblazers
Kellee Santiago (Journey) and Casey Hudson (Mass Effect), who
discuss contemporary relationships between those who create games
and those who play them; and scholars Ian Bogost (How to Do Things
With Videogames) and Edward Castronova (Exodus to the Virtual
World), who discuss how to research and write about games in ways
that engage a range of audiences. These experts and others offer
fascinating perspectives on video games, game studies, gaming
culture, and the game industry more broadly.
