Videogames, Porochista Khakpour

Studio 360

It’s plug ‘n play as we look at the art and science of video games. Kurt Andersen and writer Clive Thompson explore how this multi billion dollar industry is changing the culture. And we’ll check out the prototype for Urban Resolve, the military’s game designed to teach soldiers how to fight urban battles. Plus, Sons and Other Flammable Objects, the dark and witty debut novel from Porochista Khakpour.
