Understand Video Games as Works of Science Fiction and Interactive Stories


Science Fiction Video Games focuses on games that are part of the science fiction genre, rather than set in magical milieux or exaggerated versions of our own world. Unlike many existing books and websites that cover some of the same material, this book emphasizes critical analysis, especially the analysis of narrative. The author analyzes narrative via an original categorization of story forms in games. He also discusses video games as works of science fiction, including their characteristic themes and the links between them and other forms of science fiction.


Delve into a Collection of Science Fiction Games


The beginning chapters explore game design and the history of science-fictional video games. The majority of the text deals with individual science-fictional games and the histories and natures of their various forms, such as the puzzle-based adventure and the more exploratory and immediate computer role-playing game (RPG).

Foucault"s Virginity: Ancient Erotic Fiction and the History of Sexuality

Foucault"s Virginity: Ancient Erotic Fiction and the History of Sexuality (The W. B. Stanford Memorial Lectures) by Simon Goldhill


English | Jan. 27, 1995 | ISBN: 0521473721, 0521479347 | 208 Pages | PDF | 5 MB

This is a study of how sex and sexuality were written about in the first centuries of this era, a central period in the history of sexuality. Writing with the same wit and verve as the ancient writers he engages with, Simon Goldhill shows how the standard accounts of sexuality in this period are distorted by ignoring the sexy, ironic and often bizarre texts of the ancient novel, erotic poetry and humorous dialogues.

For many serious readers, Robert Alter writes in his preface, the novel still matters, and I have tried here to suggest some reasons why that should be so. In his wide-ranging discussion, Alter examines the imitation of reality in fiction to find out why mimesis has become problematic yet continues to engage us deeply as readers.
