Harry Brown has published three books. "Injun Joe’s Ghost" (2004) examines the figure of the Native American mixed-blood in American writing. "Videogames and Education" (2008) considers the relation between video games and the humanities. "Golf Ball" (2014), part of Bloomsbury's "Object Lessons" series, looks at such diverse subjects as empire, trade, advertising, landscape design, sport, and mysticism through the lens of a dimpled polyurethane orb. His most recent research involves environmental crisis narratives, video games and ethics, American gravestone verse, and AI and future of literature.
