Paradise Lost is not only the title of John Milton's famous epic poem (1667) but also a philosophical-theological notion linked to and emerging from the Fall from Eden in Genesis. It expresses - or imagines - the human experience of a definite rupture in history, with its inextinguishable urge to return to the time before the rupture and its yearning for an idealized version of this past. Throughout history, this longing has been expressed in artwork, architecture, and literary works, and it is perhaps best observed in the Romantic era, with its preference for the past, the future, and the contemporary exotic.Today, the notion of "Paradise Lost" has far from disappeared, finding postmodern manifestations in contemporary art and literature as well as in the revival of (secular) nationalism and (religious) fundamentalism. The 20th and 21st centuries have also seen the emergence of new arenas for narratives and iconographies of "Paradise Lost": popular culture and digital games. Within the field of game studies and the history of digital games, their technological developments, their game play, and their graphics and user interface design, the notion of "Paradise Lost" can be traced in three ways.(1) In the past decade, the game industry has been witnessing a surge in retro-gaming as a kind of narratological, ludological, visual, and technological longing for the early age of gaming. For example, some modern games have (re-)introduced the concept of perma-death (Wasteland 2 [Deep Silver, AT 2014], Hades [Supergiant Games, US 2020], Xcom [various, 1994 - present], the Diablo series [Diablo, Diablo II and Diablo III, Blizzard Entertainment, US 1997 - present]), and retro-graphics has become a deliberate design approach in contemporary games (Cuphead [Studio MDHR, CA 2017], Celeste [Matt Makes Games, CA 2017], Undertale [Toby Fox, US 2015]).(2) The industry - and the consumer - has also witnessed the emergence of various remakes of old-school classics (1942 [Capcom, JP 1984], Baldur's Gate [various, 1996-2016], Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus [GT Interactive, US 1997] and Oddworld: Soulstorm [Oddworld Inhabitants, US 2021]). In other words, the present longing for the past, or for the early (or golden) age of gaming, manifests itself in and through the game.(3) Some games explicitly employ and reflect on the idea of a rupture in human history, that is, the loss of an earlier (potentially utopian) state that is yearned for but beyond reach (for example, Horizon Zero Dawn [Guerilla Games, NL 2017]). This lost period could be medieval times, paradise, pre-9/11, pre-COVID in light of prolonged lockdowns, and so forth.

Vinder af Goodreads Choice Awards 2022 for bedste fiktion • #1 på Time Magazines “Best Fiction Books of 2022” • #1 på Amazons “Best Books of 2022” • New York Times-bestseller og Notable Book of 2022 To venner, ofte forelskede, men aldrig elskende, bliver hinandens kreative partnere i et univers af fiktive verdener og videospil, hvis succes bringer dem glæde, berømmelse, tragedier, sorg og i sidste ende en slags udødelighed. På en kedelig kold dag i december får den universitetsstuderende Sam Masur øje på Sadie Green i mængden af mennesker på en togstation. Han kalder på hende. Et øjeblik lader hun, som om hun ikke har hørt ham, men så vender hun sig alligevel om, og spillet mellem dem begynder. Det bliver begyndelsen på et legendarisk samarbejde, som vil katapultere dem til stjernestatus. De to barndomsvenner bruger al deres tid, de slider, låner penge, tigger sig til tjenester og ender med at skabe deres første blockbuster-succes sammen: spillet Ichigo. På hvad der føles som et splitsekund ligger verden for deres fødder. Men hverken pengene eller succesen kan beskytte dem fra deres egne ambitioner og forræderi. I morgen og i morgen og i morgen strækker sig over tre årtier, fra Cambridge i Massachusetts til Venice Beach i Californien og fortælles både her og der og langt væk derfra. En anderledes og eventyrlig indviklet historie om identitet, livets tragedier og de muligheder, man kun får i fantasien. Men måske allermest en historie om menneskers behov for at høre til og blive set, elske og elske nogen tilbage. Ja, det er en kærlighedshistorie, men denne her, har du aldrig læst før … “En rørende og skøn historie ... Sjældent er den virtuelle og den litterære verden flettet så fornemt ind i hinanden ... Denne nutidige dannelsesroman kunne godt gå hen og blive en af dem, der varer ved.” ★★★★ Berlingske “Hvis denne roman ikke bliver et seriehit, er der nogle typer fra streamingtjenesterne, der skal fyres.” ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎ Politiken
