From Knopf:
An anthology of short fiction inspired by the virtual world, Press Start to Play presents a stellar lineup of stories from bestselling authors and industry stars that's sure to appeal to fans of all video games--no matter if they are retro, modern, handheld, console, indie, or (yes) Kardashian-related. A VINTAGE PAPERBACK ORIGINAL.
Achievement unlocked. In the spirit of Ernest Cline's Ready Player One, here are twenty-one works of fiction that put video games--and the people who play them--in the spotlight. Whether these authors are tackling the humble pixelated coin-op arcade games of the 70s and 80s, or the vivid, immersive form of entertainment that abounds today, you'll never look at phrases like "save point," "first-person shooter," "dungeon crawl," "pwned," or "kill screen," in quite the same way again.
