Publisher's Synopsis
A Taste of Imagination: Video Games and Sufi Spirituality is a journey into the sacred frontiers of video game design, as evident in the greatest works of art in this medium in our day and age. From Uncharted to Braid, this book explores the deeply spiritual motifs that animate the spirit and stories of these great works of art. By relying on the teachings of Sufi mystics Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani and Muhyiddin Ibn al-'Arabi, A Taste of Imagination presents video games in a new light, not as empty entertainment, but as a medium for storytelling and meaningful education.
