Explores concepts central to the design and enjoyment of video games, including affect, immersion, liveness, presence, agency, narrative, ideology and the player's virtual surrogate - the avatar. Gamer and avatar are analysed as a cybernetic coupling whose dynamics suggest a fulfilment of dramatist Atonin Artaud's vision of the “body without organs”.
