Hardback. Condition: New. Digital media are immersive technologies reflecting behaviors, attitudes, and values.

This book moves beyond assertions that video games cause violence by analyzing the culture that produces such material. While some popular media reinforce the idea that video games lead to violence, this book uses a cultural studies lens to reveal a more complex situation.

This book, in contrast, focuses on what these highly entertaining cultural products tell us about who we are.…
