Jordan Erica Webber is game critic for The Guardian and gaming expert for Channel 5's The Gadget Show. Her new book "Ten Things Video Games Can Teach Us: (about life, philosophy and everything)", which she wrote with co-author Daniel Griliopoulos, is out now. For Talks at Google, Jordan presents a number of video games and discusses how they are not merely entertainment products, but suitable to teach about a variety of philosophical concepts. What does the choice of faction in Fallout 4 say about you? And what does Soma have to say about identity? Get the book here: https://goo.gl/SGcKHn
