New Books

Summer break is over.

Persuasive Games showed up in the mail last night. I had a quick chance to read the preface and I’m excited to dig into it. If anything, I look forward to osmosing a new framework for interpreting interactive news delivery. Ian Bogost’s premise is that games fit into the history of rhetoric by offering their own approach to persuasion. He calls this approach procedural rhetoric, saying interactive environments can deliver a point in ways other media cannot. I don’t want to speculate too much based on the small bit I’ve read, but I’ll be blogging through the content as I work through it.
