Minecraft divides the history of video games into before and after. At least one generation has grown up under the rays of a square sun, battling creepers and endermen, riding pigs, and journeying to the Nether. In this cubic-pixel universe—an open world without defined rules and with limitless possibilities—streamers attract millions of viewers, musicians produce music videos, designers stage fashion shows; a separate server hosts a library of literature banned by authoritarian regimes, while on others, thousands of volunteers create an exact replica of planet Earth. Yet, until now, no book has existed on the structure, history, or cultural significance of this vast and constantly evolving Swedish invention. Here is the first. Philosopher and video game scholar Alexander Vetushinsky uses the story of the creation of Minecraft in the context of the evolution of video games to find grounds for a profound conversation about gaming practices as a form of the human desire for creativity and freedom.
