GAME ROOM: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT VIDEO GAMES AND GAMING CULTURE

Alexander Vetushinsky

 

The life of a modern person is closely intertwined with video games. Even if you don't play yourself, there are probably avid gamers in your circle, and gaming industry news often permeates into the mainstream. This situation leads to questions: what are video games and what place do they occupy in people's lives?


These questions are addressed by the discipline of game studies. Alexander Vetushinsky, one of the leading Russian representatives of this field of research, explores these questions in his book "Game Room" - a philosophical reflection on the stages of gaming industry development, analysis of its established language, and its place in modern cultural space.


Here are five reasons to buy it:

  • The first book in Russia that examines video games in the context of contemporary culture from a scientific perspective.

  • The author is a member of Sber's Gamification Laboratory, a lecturer at Moscow State University and the Higher School of Economics, and a leading Russian representative of game studies.

  • Discover the place of video games in the millennia-long history of humanity, how they have become an integral part of our lives, and the prospects for the development of the gaming industry as seen by scholars.

  • Find numerous intriguing references to cultural studies, psychology, and media theory.

  • The book is written in clear language and is aimed not only at gamers but also at anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the processes happening in modern culture.
