The celebrated literary critic and theorist of popular culture Paul A. Cantor has predicted that the next great work of art in the history of world civilization will be a videogame. In the opinion of many gamers, Dark Souls comes closest to fulfilling this prophecy.
Dark Souls and Philosophy takes us on an in-depth exploration of the popular graphic novel series and online RPG game. In these path-breaking essays, modern-day philosophers attempt to examine, explore and discuss Dark Souls' creators, their original intent to entertain audiences, and the various resulting effects of online video gaming communities within Western popular culture. This is book #4 in our series, Pop Culture and Philosophy.--Nicolas Michaud
