James Malazita's "An Acting Platform's Feminist Technoscience and the Unreal Engine" offers a critical analysis of the Unreal Engine, exploring its role in shaping and being shaped by power dynamics.

The book uses feminist, race, and queer theories to examine how the engine's design and use reflect broader societal issues.

Malazita investigates the engine's entanglement with various industries, including the military, and its impact on cultural representations.

The author challenges traditional platform studies approaches, proposing a more nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between technology, culture, and power.
