Reviews
"The authors are to be commended for undertaking this major history of the video game in our contemporary global economy. I am impressed with their research, and the arguments are convincingly developed using careful textual analysis and powerful graphic illustrations". Timothy W. Luke, Department of Political Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University /// "A useful and timely intervention into debates surrounding new technologies and emerging forms of economic and social configurations and cultural practices." Kevin Dowler, Graduate Programme in Communication and Culture, York University

Synopsis
Digital Play offers a critical analysis of interactive media. Inspired by the work of Raymond Williams, the book traces the development of video gaming from its humble origins in hacker circles to its current status as a $20 billion global cultural industry. Stephen Kline, Nick Dyer-Witheford, and Greig de Peuter systematically 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. They reveal that the ascent of this new communications industry has been anything but smooth and inevitable. From Atari to Microsoft, Space Invaders to The Sims, the authors uncover the successive crises that forced game makers, faced with constant instabilities in the global entertainment sector, to become increasingly innovative., A uniquely critical study of video gaming that blends perspectives from political economy, cultural studies, and communications theory.
