Book Description
Kunal Chaudhari, the author of Running around in Circles, is an engineering major at Amity University. The author pursued his education at the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada before moving back to India. He takes keen interest in sports, especially cricket having played professionally for over twelve years. More recently, he's been playing college level and university level cricket. Like most first time authors, Kunal drew inspiration from his personal life. This novel is a way for him to explore his own personality, thus his own perspective on the vagaries of everyday life. His insight on life is quite similar to that of most young people. So in a way Kunal's writing reflects the attitude of today's youth in every walk of life. Relating to his work becomes easier as he lives the life that he talks about in his book. The author loves life and lives it to the fullest. Humor is something that comes naturally to him, so inevitably his first novel has fantastic humor. Just at the age of twenty one, for Kunal the world is his oyster.

Book Description
Thirty-nine essays explore the vast diversity of video game history and culture across all the world's continents. Video games have become a global industry, and their history spans dozens of national industries where foreign imports compete with domestic productions, legitimate industry contends with piracy, and national identity faces the global marketplace. This volume describes video game history and culture across every continent, with essays covering areas as disparate and far-flung as Argentina and Thailand, Hungary and Indonesia, Iran and Ireland. Most of the essays are written by natives of the countries they discuss, many of them game designers and founders of game companies, offering distinctively firsthand perspectives. Some of these national histories appear for the first time in English, and some for the first time in any language. Readers will learn, for example, about the rapid growth of mobile games in Africa; how a meat-packing company held the rights to import the Atari VCS 2600 into Mexico; and how the Indonesian MMORPG Nusantara Online reflects that country's cultural history and folklore. Every country or region's unique conditions provide the context that shapes its national industry; for example, the long history of computer science in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia, the problems of piracy in China, the PC Bangs of South Korea, or the Dutch industry's emphasis on serious games. As these essays demonstrate, local innovation and diversification thrive alongside productions and corporations with global aspirations.
