Nic Kelman esplora temi legati all'identità e alla condizione umana, intrecciando narrazioni con una distintiva miscela di curiosità intellettuale ed empatia acuta. La sua scrittura, informata da studi in scienze cognitive e cinema, approfondisce le complessità della mente umana e le sue interazioni. Kelman fonde magistralmente una prospettiva scientifica con l'espressione artistica, creando opere che invitano alla riflessione ed sono emotivamente risonanti. Il suo approccio offre ai lettori uno sguardo fresco e perspicace su cosa significhi essere umani.
girls is an erotic spree, a journey into the most forbidden corners of male desire, a story about men who have been rendered numb by their power, who have sacrificed everything for success, who have lost their souls and can find meaning only by living vicariously, obsessively through young women.
Il existe étrangement peu d'ouvrages traitant de l'aspect artistique et esthétique des jeux vidéo, alors que ce médium bénéficie désormais de la plus grande audience au monde. Etudiant les rapports entre le jeu vidéo et les arts traditionnels grâce à une plongée totalement novatrice dans cet univers populaire (de Tomb Raider à World of Warcraft, en passant par Jade Empire, Katamari Damacy, God o f War, Gran Turismo, Dark Age o f Camelot, Tycoon City...), l'auteur analyse cette forme artistique dominante du nouveau millénaire. Une référence pour les artistes, designers, fans de culture pop et mordus de jeux vidéo.
Girls is an erotic spree, a journey into the most forbidden corners of male desire, a story about men who have been rendered numb by their power, who have sacrificed everything for success, who have lost their souls and can find meaning only by living vicariously, obsessively through young women. These are the men who wear a ring that says "Peace" or "Dream More" (which she gave them). But they are not at peace; the ring won't work. These are the men who left their safe lives, their wives; lust sets them free/is like a prison. They have replaced their old dreams with dreams of the girls they yearn for. Because the wide-eyed wonder of youth gives them back a taste of what they've lost.
