Book of the Month
Fun Inc.Tom Chatfield
The traditional image of video games - that they appeal only to teenage boys, that they tend to be extremely violent, that they are an antisocial activity - is increasingly out of date. Forty percent of gamers are women, the majority of best-selling console games involve little or no violence and on-line communities such as the 12 million players of World of Warcraft are causing new types of social organisation to evolve. With the turnover of the games industry now exceeding that of the film industry, games are a central aspect of the entertainment business. They have also been used to train the US Military, to model global pandemics and to campaign against human rights abuses in Africa, and the new science of mass engagement is starting to transform our understanding of economics, business and communications. Culturally, their influence is starting to become apparent in many other areas of entertainment and the arts, so, whatever your feelings about video games, they are clearly here to stay.
