Taking its cue from practices of reading texts in literary and cultural studies, this book considers the computer game as a new and emerging mode of contemporary storytelling. In a carefully organized study, Barry Atkins discusses questions of narrative and realism in four of the most significant games of the last decade: Tomb Raider, Half-Life, Close Combat and SimCity. This is a work for both the student of contemporary culture and those game-players who are interested in how computer games tell their stories. GBS_insertEmbeddedViewer(“dxMLnayXwTQC”, 500,400);

This book traces some of the Torah themes which express the duality of the world: the physical, outer layer, and its inner root. GBS_insertEmbeddedViewer(“IrP6oBLjhOgC”, 500,400);
