Gaming: Essays On Algorithmic Culture: 18 (Electronic Mediations)

by Alexander R . Galloway (Author)

Synopsis

Considers the video game as a distinct cultural form that demands a unique interpretive framework. This book analyzes video games as something to be played rather than as texts to be read, and traces how the "algorithmic culture" created by video games intersects with theories of visuality, realism, allegory, and the avant-garde.
