Alexander Kriss sheds light on long-overlooked deeper questions: Why do we rage quit? Why did we create videogames in the first place? And what do they trigger in us? There's a reason videogames have had a visceral impact on our culture in recent decades--and the answer lies within our own minds. --Naomi Kyle, actor, producer, and host of Last Week in Gaming This is a much-needed, nuanced, and informed analysis of gaming.
