How did we do it? I’ll explain 👇👇

My talk here is about Cyberpunk 2020, and is part of a larger project of game genealogy, in the hope that we might be able to further situate digital games in terms of their analog predecessors and contemporaries.

Reaching a consensus about where you and your friends should eat on Friday night is not the same as reaching a scientific consensus.

Scientific consensus takes a lot of time and effort, and not every subject currently has one.
