As a lover of both video games and academic-style critiques， I found this book very enjoyable。 I don't know if I felt like all of the goals for each chapter were met （such as exploring the end of capitalism through the way we imagine apocalypses in post apocalyptic games）。 Regardless， I would recommend this book to many of my friends who are interested in the role seminal games had in developing future games， as well as how games intersect with society and culture， particularly capitalism。 As a lover of both video games and academic-style critiques， I found this book very enjoyable。 I don't know if I felt like all of the goals for each chapter were met （such as exploring the end of capitalism through the way we imagine apocalypses in post apocalyptic games）。 Regardless， I would recommend this book to many of my friends who are interested in the role seminal games had in developing future games， as well as how games intersect with society and culture， particularly capitalism。 。。。more
