1. Videogames and Art

   Ernest Adams, a veteran of the videogames industry, discusses the art of the videogame and the extent to which videogames themselves are — or can — art. His book explores various working definitions of art and applies these to videogame, noting both points of similarity and divergence. He draws parallels with the film industry, but also highlights the limitations of such comparisons and the problems that the videogame industry has faced previously in imitating too-closely the structures and techniques of the film industry. His book ends with practical advice to the games industry on measures that it should adopt to produce more distinctive and creative work.

5. Media-Specific Metalepsis in 10:01

   ‘In “Media-Specific Metalepsis in 10:01” Alice Bell analyses Lance Olsen and Tim Guthrie’s 10:01 to show that digital fiction facilitates new types of metalepses. More specifically, she shows that both ascending and descending metalepses occur via sound effects, external links, and, visually, via the cursor that the reader uses to select links. She shows that possible worlds theory provides a better approach to metalepsis than the Genettean model, particularly in a digital context, because it allows us to analyse the reader’s role in the metaleptic jump more accurately. Adding a hermeneutic dimension, the chapter concludes that the metaleptic ontological breaches are related to the text’s thematic concern with commerce and consumerism in contemporary Western society.’

6. Digital Fiction and Worlds of Perspective

   ‘In “Digital Fiction and Worlds of Perspective” David Ciccoricco also interrogates narrative theory’s ability to analyze nonprint fiction. Beginning with an overview of classical theoretical models of focalization, he presents an analysis of Judd Morrissey’s (2000) The Jew’s Daughter and Stuart Moulthrop’s (2007) Radio Salience to show how and why narrative theory must be revisited if it is to be applied to narration in digital texts.’
