Game Thrower (What Breaks May Bloom)

Space Invaders is the highest-grossing video game of all time (14 billion USD adjusted for inflation) and, when it was released, was a like a molatov cocktail thrown into global culture.  It introduced a generation to revolutionary new forms of play, while also marking the beginning of our cultural addiction to interactive experiences on screens.  Has the benefit of digital entertainment been worth the cost and where do we go from here?  Sometimes a revolution sets us free.  Sometimes it leads us into shadows we never meant to enter.  Often, it’s both.
