Publisher's Note
A thought-provoking cultural study of videogames traces the history of this popular form of entertainment and explains why videogames will become the dominant popular art form of the twenty-first century.

Industry Reviews
"A perky exploration of the semiotics of video games--if that's what readers have been waiting for."
Kirkus Reviews (09/15/2000)

"Poole writes brilliantly and he seems such a nice young man (read English at Cambridge, contributes to the GUARDIAN, can quote Plato without seeming too pretentious all the usual). What disturbs me about TRIGGER HAPPY and about videogames in general is his lip smacking relish of the violence that fills his leisure hours."
Literary Review - Tony Parsons (05/01/2000)
