"This worthwhile read is for any gamer, or for anyone interested in this cultural phenomenon; it will make you think critically about video games." --Library Journal (Starred Review), "A collection of interviews with a who's who of video game authorities crackling with insight into the medium's past, present, and future...what a great book! David S. Heineman's conversations reveal the many dimensions of games as technology, industry, and popular art. This is sure to be essential reading to a wide audience of players, makers, and critics of one of our century's most defining forms of cultural expression." --Michael Newman, author of Video Revolutions: On the History of a Medium, "A collection of interviews with a who's who of video game authorities crackling with insight into the medium's past, present, and future...what a great book!

Synopsis
These experts and others offer fascinating perspectives on video games, game studies, gaming culture, and the game industry more broadly., 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.
