Authored by an editor of and contributor to the Hugo Award-winning online Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, this book begins with a wide-ranging history of science fiction video games. It explores the evolution of specific game forms of science-fictional interest, from computer RPGs to first-person shooter, and their relationship to other modern game forms, such as tabletop RPGs, board and counter wargames, and board games. The book also discusses game design, the structure of game narratives, the worlds in which games are set, the related tradition of hypertext fiction, and the evolution of indie game development.
