Egods: Faith Versus Fantasy in Computer Gaming
Bainbridge, William Sims (co-Director, co-Director, Human-Centered Computing at the National Science Foundation)
William Bainbridge contends that the worlds of massively multiplayer online roleplaying games provide a new perspective on the human quest, one that combines the arts and simulates most aspects of real life. The quests in gameworlds also provide meaning for human action, in terms of narratives about achieving goals by overcoming obstacles.
