Literariness in Videogames

This New York Times article on "The Future of Reading" is pure INFO 390 in 10 years. It discusses how videogames not only are a gateway drug into reading, but how print is merging with videogames to create environments as complex as those created by literary megaliths, with benefits: games are interactive, you can fail at games, and you can control the story.

Reading isn't dead. It's just changing forms, slowly but surely.
