Bosman and Archibald L.  H.  M. van Wieringen www.jrfm.eu 2021, 7/1, 145–171 The transition to the physical world does not just change the materiality of the book, for it also changes the communication based on the book. In the case of Far Cry 5, it is far from an innocent transition. Whereas in the imagi- native world of the game and trailer, the text-immanent reader is positioned in contrast to Joseph Seed, the dangerous leader of a violent cult, and encour- aged to stop the fictional Seedism, in the physical world the text-immanent reader is invited to join Joseph Seed, as if it were a positive thing to become a member of (still to be) Seedism. Communication is exciting. Transitions in medial objects make communication even more exciting. Bibliography Bosman, Frank, 2019, Gaming and the Divine.
