But as any gamer knows, there's incredible technical and graphic talent behind even a flickering Gameboy screen.You may have never heard Shigeru Miyamoto's name, but you've probably spent many a lazy afternoon absorbed in his work.

Combining critical essays with interviews, bibliographies, and striking visuals, Shigeru Miyamoto unveils the artist behind thousands of glowing gaming screens, tracing out his design decisions, aesthetic preferences, and the material conditions that shaped his work. With this incredible (and incredibly unknown) figure, series editors Jennifer DeWinter and Carly Kocurek launch the Influential Video Game Designers series, at last giving these artists the recognition they deserve.
