Guardian writer Tom Bissel put up a retrospective chronicling his drug and video game addiction. Here is the teaser
Tom Bissell was an acclaimed, prize-winning young writer. Then he started playing the video game Grand Theft Auto. For three years he has been cocaine addicted, sleep deprived and barely able to write a word. Any regrets? Absolutely none
All in all it’s an interesting read, but that is not my sole motivation for sharing it with you. Make no mistake, this is the product of addiction, not video games. I imagine there are similar stories involving competitive Shuffleboard. Before you call your congressman, please keep that in mind. Now that that is out of the way, it’s a pretty riveting story that deserves your attention.
