Steen Christiansen reviewed Gamer theory by McKenzie Wark
Review of 'Gamer theory' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Mckenzie Wark has written a number of strong books, this foray leads us into the world and culture of gaming, something that for Wark becomes more than simply a discussion of how video games work in our culture, but more how our culture has become like a game. Wark's arguments are clear and convincing, if bleak at times. However, Wark refuses pessimism and instead attempts to forge what is also the book's title 'gamer theory' - a theory that will throw a wrench in contemporary culture.
