A bold new metaphysics that explores how all things--from atoms to green chiles, cotton to computers--interact with, perceive, and experience one another
Prof. Ian Bogost Boeken
30 december 1976
Ian Bogost is een gevierde videogameontwikkelaar, criticus en onderzoeker wiens werk de kruising van games, media en cultuur onderzoekt. Zijn analyses duiken diep in hoe games functioneren als communicatie- en expressiemiddelen, en onthullen hun potentieel om complexe ideeën te beïnvloeden en te articuleren. Bogost's benadering maakt vaak gebruik van creatieve kritiek, waarbij hij game-ontwerp zelf gebruikt, zoals de satirische Cow Clicker, om aspecten van de game-industrie en digitale interactie te belichten.
