Sinopse

Classic Arcade Boom explores the captivating history of classic arcade games, examining their technological innovation, cultural impact, and economic forces that propelled their rise and eventual reshaping. It reveals how inserting a quarter unlocked not just a game but a cultural phenomenon, transforming arcades into social hubs.

 
The book emphasizes that the arcade era was more than a fleeting fad, representing a unique blend of technological progress, social trends, and economic factors that fostered a distinct subculture. The book delves into the technological advancements of the 1970s and 1980s, from early vector graphics to advanced sprite-based systems, making complex concepts accessible to all readers. It highlights how arcades influenced music, fashion, and language, becoming integral social gathering places. This history also examines the business models and marketing strategies that defined the arcade industry. Arcade machines became more than just a game, they became a cultural touchstone.

 
The book unfolds by first introducing the key technologies that made arcade games possible. It then explores how arcades became social gathering places before analyzing the economic aspects. The book concludes by exploring the decline of the classic arcade and the resilience of classic games through modern re-releases and dedicated collectors.

    Awkwardness - A Theory

    Awkwardness offers an account of the psychology and philosophical significance of a ubiquitous social phenomenon. Our aversion to awkwardness mirrors our desire for inclusion. This explains its power to influence and silence us: as social creatures, we don't want to mark ourselves as outsiders. As a result, our fear of awkwardness inhibits critique and conversation, acting as an impediment to moral and social progress. Even the act of describing people as "awkward" exacerbates existing inequities, by consigning them to a social status that gives them less access to the social goods (knowledge, confidence, social esteem) needed to navigate potentially awkward situations. 
     
     
     
    Awkwardness discusses how we ostracize and punish those who fail to fit into existing social categories; how we all depend on—and are limited by—social scripts and norms for guidance; and how these norms frequently let us down when we need them. But awkwardness has a positive side: it can highlight opportunities for moral and social improvement, by revealing areas where our social norms and scripts fail to meet our needs or have yet to catch up with changing social and moral realities. Awkwardness ultimately underscores the conflict between our moral motivations and our desire for social approval and conformity.

    Why War?

    Why has war been such a consistent presence throughout the human past? A leading historian explains, drawing on rich examples and keen insight. 
     
     
     
    Richard Overy is not the first scholar to take up the title question. In 1931, at the request of the League of Nations, Albert Einstein asked Sigmund Freud to collaborate on a short work examining whether there was "a way of delivering mankind from the menace of war." Published the next year as a pamphlet entitled Why War?, it conveyed Freud's conclusion that the "death drive" made any deliverance impossible—the psychological impulse to destruction was universal in the animal kingdom. The global wars of the later 1930s and 1940s seemed ample evidence of the dismal conclusion. 
     
     
     
    A preeminent historian of those wars, Overy brings vast knowledge to the title question and years of experience unraveling the knotted motivations of war. His approach is to separate the major drivers and motivations, and consider the ways each has contributed to organized conflict. They range from the impulses embedded in human biology and psychology, to the incentives to conflict developed through cultural evolution, to competition for resources. The discussions show remarkable range, delving deep into the Neolithic past, through the twentieth-century world wars, and up to the current conflict in Ukraine.
