From the earliest computers to the smartphones in our pockets, video games have been on our screens and part of our lives for over fifty years. Critical Hits celebrates this sophisticated medium and considers its lasting impact on our culture and ourselves. This collection of stylish, passionate, and searching essays opens with an introduction by Carmen Maria Machado, who edited the anthology alongside J. Robert Lennon. In these pages, writer-gamers find solace from illness and grief, test ideas about language, bodies, power, race, and technology, and see their experiences and identities reflected in--or complicated by--the interactive virtual worlds they inhabit. Elissa Washuta immerses herself in The Last of Us during the first summer of the pandemic. Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah describes his last goodbye to his father with the help of Disco Elysium. Jamil Jan Kochai remembers being an Afghan American teenager killing Afghan insurgents in Call of Duty. Also included are a comic by MariNaomi about her time as a video game producer; a deep dive into "portal fantasy" movies about video games by Charlie Jane Anders; and new work by Alexander Chee, Hanif Abdurraqib, Larissa Pham, and many more.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books 794.8019 Cr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 794.8019 Cr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 794.8019 Critical Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 794.8019 Cr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
