Mechademia
Frenchy Lunning is editing a wonderful book series called Mechademia for University of Minnesota Press. Issue 1 (The Emerging World of Anime and Manga) includes, among other things, "Assessing Interactivity in Video Game Design", a brilliant essay by J.P. Wolf, the author of a monograph on Myst for the videoludica book series. The recently released issue 2 of Mechademia, subtitled Networks of Desire, "illuminates the techno-carnal fantasies, animalistic consumption,
political nostalgia, and existential hunger underlying the most popular
and influential expressions of Japanese popular culture today.". Highly recommended.
