This issue, ROOTS#1, investigates the cultural and aesthetic evolution of the video game Deus Ex. By illuminating and discussing the roots, this magazine places the game in a powerful context that is often overlooked. For that reason you will not find any screenshots or reviews in ROOTS. Instead, we have allowed our writers to explore the significant themes that have inspired and shaped Deus Ex.
