Description
Lost in a Good Game is a heartfelt defence of a often-misunderstood pastime. Pete Etchells' personal journey with video games is a powerful exploration of how they can be both a source of comfort and a catalyst for self-discovery.
Etchells' book takes a unique approach, combining scientific study with his own experiences to investigate the psychological effects of video games. From the early days of computer gaming to the latest mass multiplayer online games, he explores the highs and lows of playing and seeks to understand our relationship with games.
Part memoir, part cultural analysis, Lost in a Good Game is a thought-provoking exploration of how video games have shaped our lives and our understanding of ourselves.
