Essays on Algorithmic Culture." Funny how all of a sudden it pops up everywhere. I also just saw that Alexander Galloway uses that quote in his new book “Gaming.

The minute I read it on Glen's blog, I knew I would reappropriate it for my current mini-chapter on Deus Ex. I think it perfectly encapsulates the 'constrained freedom' the player feels in a game that leaves her a lot of choices, but ultimately leaves her no chance but to play along ...

My dissertation relies heavily on his work, and I find myself struggling to find "useful" quotes, and instead relying on a lot of the secondary literature. I was just reading a similar critique of Deleuze over at <a href="" rel="nofollow">Larval Subjects</a> (see 10th paragraph, starting with "Finally, any analysis of this concept should be based on close textual reading..."). I disagree with Sinthome, and I find Deleuze a very rich territory to 'deterritorialize' in all sorts of directions... but he is certainly hard to quote! Thanks for the link to my post. I have subscribed to your blog and look forward to reading more of your work. I know what you mean about citing Deleuze.

The couple of modern control seems to be speed/direction. Nice works from Virilio on this. In Deleuze when you can no more control the world by stopping/slowing it you have to control directions.
