Alexander Vetushinsky
The life of a modern person is closely intertwined with video games. Even if you don't play yourself, there are probably avid gamers in your circle, and gaming industry news often permeates into the mainstream. This situation leads to questions: what are video games and what place do they occupy in people's lives?
These questions are addressed by the discipline of game studies. Alexander Vetushinsky, one of the leading Russian representatives of this field of research, explores these questions in his book "Game Room" - a philosophical reflection on the stages of gaming industry development, analysis of its established language, and its place in modern cultural space.
