In order to cope, he immersed himself in a virtual world - first as an escape, but later to try to understand what had happened. Etchells is now a researcher into the psychological effects of video games, and was co-author on a recent paper explaining why WHO plans to classify game addiction as a danger to public health are based on bad science and (he thinks) are a bad idea.In this, his first book, he journeys through the history and development of video games - from Turings chess machine to mass multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft or Fortnite - via scientific study, to investigate the highs and lows of playing and get to the bottom of our relationship with games - why we do it, and what they really mean to us.At the same time, Lost in a Good Game is a very unusual memoir of a writer coming to terms with his grief via virtual worlds, as he tries to work out what area of popular culture we should classify games (a relatively new technology) under.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pete Etchells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47284094566588,"sku":"1785784811","price":79.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0311\/4699\/9943\/files\/e4cb2437af30c05c7bed371b419b210bb376b638_BD5899776B.jpg?v=1786888631","url":"https:\/\/techstudio.ch\/products\/lost-in-a-good-game-why-we-play-video-games-and-what-they-can-do-for-us-taschenbuch","provider":"techstudio.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
