The Starship Titanic? Its only mission is to make you think
Article Abstract:
It is important to move away from computer games that have no sense of engaging the player, according to author Douglas Adams. His computer game, Starship Titanic, directly engages the player. It mixes comedy with intellectual challenge, and contains a range of interesting characters. The visual concept and programming were undertaken by The Digital Village, Adams' own new media concern. Adams has been a strong supporter of new media since 1985, when he was involved in a computer game version of his book 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.'

Article Abstract:
It is very pleasant to be treated as a writer outside Scotland, according to Scottish author James Kelman. His work is banned from Scottish schools, and he has attracted considerable criticism from the Saltire society and the Scottish National Party. When he is in Scotland, he feels like an ethnic in his own community. He feels that the great thing about being an artist is that sometimes he finds his own work moving. He is a strong supporter of human rights, regarding the protection of cultural identity as each person's inherent privilege.
