No rating yet(0 ratings)Robertson Allen's America's Digital Army (sku-55391022), listed under Game & Activity Books, is an ethnographic study of interactive entertainment and military power. Drawing on fieldwork with game developers, military strategists, U.S. Army marketing agencies and defense contractors involved in producing the official U.S.
Army game America's Army, Allen examines how military-funded gaming technologies can cast even nonplayers as virtual soldiers available for deployment. The book covers the army's interest in soldiers suited to high-tech work, portrayals of enemies in the game, disagreements over recruiting practices and the overlapping cultures of gamers, developers and soldiers.
It also considers how games blur distinctions between soldiers and civilians, war and games, work and play, and virtual and real life.
