From the Presupposition of Doom to the Manifestation of Code: Using Emulated Citation in the Study of Games and Cultural Software
For the field of game history to mature, and for game studies more broadly to function in a scholarly manner in the coming decades, one necessity will be improvement of game citation practices. Current practices have some obvious problems, such as a lack of standardization even within the same journal or book series. But a more pressing problem is disguised by the field’s youth: Common citation practices depend on the play experiences and cultura…
How Pac-Man Eats
How the tools and concepts for making games are connected to what games can and do mean; with examples ranging from Papers, Please to Dys4ia. In How Pac-Man Eats, Noah Wardrip-Fruin considers two questions: What are the fundamental ways that games work? And how can games be about something? Wardrip-Fruin argues that the two issues are related. Bridging formalist and culturally engaged approaches, he shows how the tools and concepts for making gam…

The Stack: On Software and Sovereignty
A comprehensive political and design theory of planetary-scale computation proposing that The Stack—an accidental megastructure—is both a technological apparatus and a model for a new geopolitical architecture. What has planetary-scale computation done to our geopolitical realities? It takes different forms at different scales—from energy and mineral sourcing and subterranean cloud infrastructure to urban software and massive universal addressing…

The New Media Reader
This reader collects the texts, videos, and computer programs--many of them now almost impossible to find--that chronicle the history and form the foundation of the still-emerging field of new media. General introductions by Janet Murray and Lev Manovich, along with short introductions to each of the texts, place the works in their historical context and explain their significance. The texts were originally published between World War II--when di…

Hypermedia, Eternal Life, and the Impermanence Agent
We look to media as memory, and a place to memorialize, when we have lost. Hypermedia pioneers such as Ted Nelson and Vannevar Bush envisioned the ultimate media within the ultimate archive-with each element in continual flux, and with constant new addition. Dynamism without loss. Instead we have the Web, where "Not Found" is a daily message. Projects such as the Internet Archive and Afterlife dream of fixing this uncomfortable impermanence. Mark…
Writing Networks: New Media, Potential Literature
THE PROCESS OF WRITING FOR NEW MEDIA IS EXPLORED THROUGH discussion of the author’s work of electronic text for the World Wide Web (The Book of Endings) , the work of members of the OuLiPo (particularly Georges Perec, Raymond Queneau, and Italo Calvino), and two new technologies developed by the New York University Media Research Laboratory (Pad and Improv). Issues of structure, constraint, and the relationship of author, text, and reader are giv…
