Welcome
Together with the Institute for the Future of the Book, I created this website as a way to think to about games. Games, as in computer games, are the subject of my next book, GAM3R 7H30RY. I am interested in two questions.

- can there be a critical theory of games?
I thought it would be interesting to share the book in its draft state to see if these questions are something other people might have ideas on or might want to pursue. more ...
The next version of Gamer Theory will be published by Harvard University Press in April 2007, and will contain contributions from readers on this site.
