Thirty years old and bigger than the movie industry, the video game is now
part of our culture. Steven Poole’s first book, Trigger Happy, is a
whirlwind tour of its genesis and development, deconstructed to show the video
game as an art form in its own right. With helpful references from art and
literature, as well as from the games themselves, this has much to intrigue the
fan but little to convert the novice. Published by Fourth Estate, £12,
ISBN 1841151203.
