Are videogames bad for us? It's the question on everyone's mind, given teenagers' captive attention to videogames and the media's tendency to scapegoat them. It's also - if you ask clinical psychologist Alexander Kriss - the wrong question. In his therapy office, Kriss looks at videogames as a window into the mind. Is his patient Liz really "addicted" to Candy Crush - or is she evading a deeper problem? And when Jack immerses himself in Mass Effect, is he eroding his social skills - or honing them via relationship - building gameplay?

Nice start but no.

This book takes a lot of shots at other parts of culture and blames basically everything on racism.
Some good ideas to start but quickly devolves into a woke disaster.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
