New book available for pre-order!
My new book, Porn & Pong: How Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider and Other Sexy Games Changed Our Culture, is available for pre-order! It is the first book to use video games to look at how technology, sexuality and pop culture have evolved over the past three decades. Available in late September, Porn & Pong will be a fun read for fans of my magazine and newspaper articles, or anyone interested in modern pop cultural history!
Hit the great Powell’s Books, Barnes and Noble or Amazon to make sure you get your copy as soon as it is available.
However, if you’d like to wait and buy it directly from me, I can promise signed copies and other goodies. The best bet is to secure one now, and then grab a signed copy from me later for friends and fam. It should make the perfect gift for the sexy gamers in your life!
Visit the book website for more information (may be NSFW, depending on, ahem, where you work at).

I was one of a hundred thousand people to visit the Australian Centre For The Moving Image exhibition - Game On - I have a feeling you would have loved it! http://www.acmi.net.au/news_game_over.htm
http://www.acmi.net.au/acmi_shop.htm - I reckon their shop needs your book.
Congrats on it.

Oh wow what a great cover! Looking forward to seeing the final copy, although of course I’m smug ’cause I got to read the galleys.

Thanks, Regina, and that means a lot coming from a sex/tech expert like yourself! I can’t wait for you to see the finished copy.

Hi Ell,
Just got your message! Thanks for the note - I actually visited Game On in Chicago a few years ago. It was, indeed, amazing. I look forward to it coming back through the states!
I’ll definitely check out ACMI. In the meantime, check out Porn & Pong - it is out now!
