History in games : contingencies of an authentic past /

Where do we end up when we enter the time machine that is the digital game? One axiomatic truth of historical research is that the past is the time-space that eludes human intervention.

520 |a Where do we end up when we enter the time machine that is the digital game? One axiomatic truth of historical research is that the past is the time-space that eludes human intervention. Every account made of the past is therefore only an approximation. But how is it that strolling through ancient Alexandria can feel so real in the virtual world?

By answering these questions, the book illuminates the ubiquitous category of authenticity from the perspective of historical game studies.
