You have to be conscious of perception to avoid being hassled. That's exactly why I didn't bring this book on a plane, even though it's obviously not about bombs:

while showing its age in the final chapters (which were at time of publication on "now and the future"), if you're doing anything academic about videogames this book is simply a must-read. It's very well done, it is accessible but informed and simply put is as entertaining as it is informative.

To put it into perspective, my love of games is due in large part to reading that book when it came out. (And it doesn't have a goddamn agenda in either direction of the argument, it's just about "what's the deal with videogames? well, these are the people who derped around with them first..." and so on.)
