"Video games are an integral part of twentieth-century and twenty-first-century cultural history. Although their reception has changed a lot in the last decade, they often are still perceived as non-historical and non-political media. Museums and cultural institutions are slowly beginning to approach video games both as a cultural phenomenon and an art form, but ehri socio-political importance--such as their interactions with identity, sexuality, and gender--remains largely unexplored." --back cover
