What started as a game of Pong, with little blips
dancing across a computer screen, has evolved into a
multi-billion-dollar industry that is changing the future,
making inroads into virtually all aspects of our culture.Who
are the minds behind this revolution? How did it happen?
Where is it headed?
In Smartbomb, journalists
Heather Chaplin and Aaron Ruby take the reader behind the
scenes at gaming conventions, into powerhouse think tanks
where new games are created, into the thick of the
competition at cyberathlete tournaments, and into the homes
of gamers for whom playing a role in a virtual world has
assumed more relevance and reality than life in the real world.
