Those of us who have read Russell's "Book of the Dead: A Complete History of Zombie Cinema" can expect the same intelligent and sharp critique in his new book "Generation XBox" which explores the relationship between cinema and the videogames industry. His astute, detailed analysis is packed into an absorbing, concise, fast-moving narrative that brings together Spielberg, Kubrick, Atari, Nintendo, Silicon Valley, Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, The Matrix and Avatar. I am impressed by how Russell interviewed more than 100 games developers, film-makers, actors and executives in his research. He suggests that the nature of storytelling in film has been forever altered by the invasion of the computer games and graphics in Hollywood.
Cutting-edge and insightful. If you are serious about videogames, cinema or computer graphics, this book is a real treat!
