Who is Homo Cyber-Ludens? Demiurg, spectator, user of real, virtual and imaginary worlds, Homo Cyber-Ludens is the absolute protagonist of this research, which collects reflections, stories, experiences and reasoning of some of the most important characters in the gaming world. They, together with the authors – in their turn professionals who have seen the varied and multifaceted universe of the video game growing in the last forty years – question the very nature of the creature, its existence, its shocking evolution, that goes hand in hand with the very definition of interactive works, and with the ever stronger need to redefine this world and widen its boundaries, those of creation as those of fruition and criticism. Thus opens an adventurous and pioneering journey into a world that still largely requires valid explorers and brave cartographers, because surely its Pillars of Hercules have just been crossed.
