A bold new metaphysics that explores how all things--from atoms to green chiles, cotton to computers--interact with, perceive, and experience one another
Prof. Ian Bogost Knihy
30. december 1976
Ian Bogost je uznávaným tvorcom videohier, kritikom a výskumníkom, ktorého práca skúma prienik hier, médií a kultúry. Jeho analýzy sa hlboko zaoberajú spôsobom, akým hry fungujú ako komunikačné a expresívne prostriedky, a odhaľujú ich potenciál ovplyvňovať a vyjadrovať komplexné myšlienky. Bogostov prístup často spočíva v tvorivej kritike, keď prostredníctvom dizajnu hier, ako je napríklad satirický Cow Clicker, poukazuje na aspekty herného priemyslu a digitálnej interakcie.
