About The Book
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, is both a love letter to, and a bold exploration of what video games and gaming culture are and can be.
Featuring creators from Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Lebanon & USA.
About The Publisher
Difference Engine is an award-winning independent comics publisher based in Singapore. Powered by stories from Southeast Asia and beyond, we are inspired by diverse, thought-provoking tales told through captivating illustrations by creators both new and experienced.
Like how the invention of the difference engine impacted the world, our goal is to create comics that nudge readers to look at the world differently. As a team of creators ourselves, we see each comic as a collaboration, a conversation, and an opportunity to experiment beyond the printed form to push the boundaries of what comics can be.
