Since 2019 No Escape has been a site all about games and digital culture in “an age of conflict.” With said conflicts brewing around the world daily, we’re starting up a new book club to hopefully help make sense of it all. The theme of 2024’s book club is “games and conflict.” We’re going to start things off pretty simply, with a readthrough of Matthew Thomas Payne and Nina B. Huntemann’s essay collection, How To Play Video Games. Our first meeting is tonight at 5:00 PM CST in the No Escape Discord! You can get there through a $3 Patreon subscription (or email me at [email protected] if you can’t swing that).
