Rather than being turned into a zombie by video games, Michael Clune says his childhood love affair with the electronic world transformed his life. In his second memoir, 'Gamelife', Clune explores coming of age in the 1980s through the lens of seven role-playing PC games he sought refuge in. Michael W Clune is also the author of 'White Out', his memoir of a very different type of addiction - addiction to heroin. He is an associate professor of English literature at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio.
