(Paperback)

This book analyses video games like Grand Theft Auto and Resident Evil as aesthetic objects. Drawing on philosophical theories of art from Kant to Ranciere, it focuses on what games feel like to players and argues that their appeal can only be adequately understood by relating them to developments in contemporary art and recent cultural history.

(Hardback)

This book explores Andrew Feenbergs idea that technology is both the main medium of domination in contemporary society and the principal site of democratic resistance. It presents his work as an account of the connection between disputes over the design of specific technologies and the challenge of constructing a new, sustainable civilisation.
