Description
"Drawing on crime statistics, cutting-edge social research, and scientific studies of the teenage brain, Col. Grossman shows how video games that depict antisocial, misanthropic, and casually savage behavior can warp the mind-- with potentially deadly results. [This work] will kickstart a new national conversation about video games and the epidemic of mass murders that they have unleashed"--Front jacket flap.
