Gives a good insight into hypocrisy of American society regarding sex and violence. The puritantistic urge to demonize popular media for societal flaws. ( ) I've been a fan of GTA since Vice City, so this book was very interesting for me. It chronicles the franchise's and Rockstar's rise from obscurity to the mainstream titans they are now. The best part of this book is Jack Thompson. As a part of the gaming press during the Hot Coffee days, I had grown to hate the man, not trying to understand how he is as a person or what motivates him. Kushner humanizes him a lot, making his motivations understandable though misguided. It also shows both sides of the whole media frenzy over GTA-inspired killings. I'd highly recommend this book to a gamer or even a remote fan of GTA or Rockstar Games. Non-gamers will also find it an interesting treatise on the games industry. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
