This book is phenomenal! This is an awesome book. So awesome I'm writing a second review to say so. It is fast paced, entertaining, amusing at times, shocking at others. I grew up in the 90s, and these games were foundational. Their controversy drove them even further into the light, making more people play them. These were foundational to my youth. These were my escape from the harshness that was my miserable youth. I loved them.
This book is a pretty quick read. It has plenty of places to pause without leaving you confused when you come back to it. A lot of books have enormous chapters covering one grandiose idea, but this book has little sections all throughout each short chapter, so you can read for just a few minutes and come back to it. In my busy life, this is great. I've been taking longer, 1 hour lunch breaks on the farm to read this. I didn't take breaks before. I would just work 8hrs in a row. Then go home. But this book is so good, I can't stop taking breaks to read it. I'm often tired after work, so reading at that point isn't easy.
This book is not about violent games influence. It is briefly mentioned, but the focus is on the development of the people and the games they made and the role they played in society and the impact they have left. Controversy is discussed later in the book, but only briefly. ... And no, games do not make you a ... shooter. No games do not encourage violence. Some have suggested Doom influenced certain kids to hurt other kids. I think they would have done it anyway. Bad people do bad things. Power Rangers didn't inspire me to violence, it inspired me to take Karate, where I learned that peace perseverance and hard work lets us reach our goals, not violence. I grew up loving violent TV and games. But I grew into an introspective middle aged man, not a monster. Why didn't games affect me in a bad way? Because I knew they were just games. Same with TV shows. Just like I knew Power Rangers was just a TV show, even when I was a kid. Doom was just a cool game. I fiction. A simulated fiction.
