Free to Play: A Video Games Anthology

Literature as a game. Gaming as literature. How are writers and artists interacting with video games, gaming, and notions of play?

Spanning fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, comics, and multimedia works from an international array of emerging and established voices, Free to Play: A Video Games Anthology is both a love letter to, and a bold exploration of what video games and gaming culture are and can be.
