Steven Poole has released a free (as in cost-free and DRM-free) PDF version of the recently revised edition of his book, Trigger Happy, The Inner Life of Videogames.

In the author’s words: Trigger Happy is a book about the aesthetics of videogames – what they share with cinema, the history of painting, or literature; and what makes them different, in terms of form, psychology and semiotics.

So much generosity shouldn’t prevent you from buying a hard copy of Trigger Happy (Amazon UK and USA) or of Poole’s latest book, Unspeak (Amazon USA and UK).
