Famous quotes containing the words electronic and/or game:
“The war was won on both sides: by the Vietnamese on the ground, by the Americans in the electronic mental space. And if the one side won an ideological and political victory, the other made Apocalypse Now and that has gone right around the world.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

—For the State of West Virginia, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
