First Person: New Media as Story, Performance, and Game
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
This study looks at the connection between storytelling and games, and at what happens when stories are told through electronic media. Rather than offering a single theory, it gathers a series of conversations among people who create new media works and those who think carefully about them. Their talk ranges across questions of narrative, performance, and play, asking whether interactive works can carry a story and how a reader or player takes part in it. The result is a set of perspectives on how digital writing and gameplay relate, and what each form can do that the other cannot.
