Readings
I’ve selected a set of readings to inform my thinking about the area I call “endless hybrids”
So, here’s my list of readings in new media, game studies, and narratology that I’m going to examine. (Other items likely will be added as I come across them; this is a starting point, though I think it’s a fairly broad selection of books. Note that I’ve not included articles or web sites in this list. Those also will be added separately):
