POWERING UP:  ARE COMPUTER GAMES CHANGING OUR LIVES?

Rebecca Mileham looks at the facts behind the headlines to see what effect the epidemic of game-playing is really having on us and the society we live in.

She examines the evidence, from experts and gamers alike, and asks some thought-provoking questions. If you're part of the gaming revolution yourself, or are just curious about this topic, then this is the book for you. - www.intersoft.co.za
