Samenvatting:

Traces the development of video gaming from its origins in hacker circles to its status as a $20 billion global cultural industry. This book intends to debunk cyber-guru optimism about globally networked digital communications by analysing the management practices of the corporations that designed and marketed video games to youthful audiences.



A uniquely critical study of video gaming that blends perspectives from political economy, cultural studies, and communications theory.
