ENDORSEMENTS "Ruffino unearths the gloomy, partial, and finite nature of both sides of the human-nonhuman experience, exposing the rich layer of compost for thought in games and the world if we are willing to get dirt under our fingernails." --Benjamin Abraham, author of Digital Games After Climate Change "Paolo Ruffino skillfully meanders through the post-anthropocentric landscape of video gaming, rethinking the position of the human player and the human developer against the backdrop of post-human aesthetics and automated game-making techniques." --Sonia Fizek, Professor of Media and Game Studies and Head of Research at Cologne Game Lab, Cologne University of Applied Sciences; author of Playing at a Distance "Exhaustively synthesizing scholarship on the ongoing omnicrisis, Ruffino interrogates with precision and nuance its relationship with digital games, showing the latter to be exemplary artefacts for understanding the complexities and layers of this strangest of moments." --Mark R. Johnson, Senior Lecturer in Digital Cultures in the Department of Media and Communications at the University of Sydney; author of Twitch.
