Book excerpt: Explores, for the first time, how pornography and video games have influenced the world's sexual mores and technological compulsions on a massive scale. The first Atari systems and their phallic joysticks sold by the millions, reality TV skyrocketed at the same time The Sims took off and the surgically-endowed Pamela Anderson was outshone by only one other woman: Lara Croft. Porn & Pong examines how politics, hidden agendas and financial pressure affect the controversial art forms of gaming and pornography.
