Critical Hits: Writers on Gaming and the Alternate Worlds We Inhabit

內容簡介

內容簡介 《最後生還者》、《最後一戰》、《太空戰士》、《異塵餘生》…你也是對這些電玩遊戲耳熟能詳的玩家嗎？電玩遊戲的發展與演進，已經大大改變我們的文化與娛樂產業，甚至是很多人日常生活的一部分。由知名女性文學作家Carmen Maria Machado擔任編輯，集結作家和電玩遊戲製作人等帶來18篇談論電玩遊戲的文章，在這些虛擬世界裡，他們看見的可能是慰藉、創意與體驗，也可能激發更多關於種族、性別與科技議題的想法。Whether you're an avid gamer, a Twitch subscriber, or just an incidental Subway Surfer, video games have changed the way you interact with the world, and have been part of our lives for over fifty years. Critical Hits is a celebration of play and playfulness, and the lasting impact of videogames.Composed of sharp, impassioned, and inquisitive essays, this collection begins with an introduction by Carmen Maria Machado and presents video games through the eyes of eighteen writer-gamers as they straddle real and artificial worlds. In games, they find solace from illness and grief, test ideas about language, bodies, race, and technology, and see their experiences and identities reflected in-or complicated by-the interactive virtual realities they inhabit.From a deep dive into "portal fantasy" games by Charlie Jane Anders and a comic by MariNaomi about her time as a video game producer, to the overlaps in gaming and poetry by Stephen Sexton, Critical Hits illuminates fragments of an industry that is wildly popular, grossly misunderstood, and absolutely spellbinding.
