When the VCR first became commonly available, and the modern porn industry’s sales skyrocketed, Atari systems, with their phallic joysticks, also seized the American mind.

In Porn and Pong, Playboy journalist Damon Brown reveals how these businesses have blossomed, intersected and affected our culture.

Reality TV came the same year as the digital reality of The Sims, and when Pamela Anderson’s surgical enhancements glazed eyes across North America, she was outshined by one other woman: Lara Croft.

CNN tech correspondent Scott Steinberg calls Porn and Pong, “A stimulating look at two of today’s most controversial subjects… Sure to amaze and titillate anyone who’s ever hoisted a videogame controller.”

Damon Brown covers sex, technology and pop culture for Playboy, New York Post and PlanetOut. His work can be seen at www.damonbrown.net.
