"The 20th Century had no shortage of despots. Ruthless leaders who crushed their opponents and brutalised anyone who dared step out of line. Authoritarians like Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Idi Amin – and Bill the house mouse."

Het boek How A Game Lives van @jacobgeller.com verzamelt een aantal van zijn beste essays, becommentarieert ze en voorziet ze van verdere context. Het resultaat is een prachtboek - dat ook een lans breekt voor een diepgaandere gamekritiek. Recensie voor NRC. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...
