How would you explain and argue, to a man who only plays videogames

Why would you want to enlighten a manchild?

The verb enlighten is a bit too intense. But because I have no need to feel superior, I just want to share interesting stuff with people who are unaware of its existence/worth.

I think the important thing is to convey to them the idea that is first and foremost about having fun. You shouldn't expect them to read literary fiction if they don't get any enjoyment out of it.

Take my brother for examples. He's computer science undergrad. I tried to get him to read Dosto's C&P, but he gave up after a while saying that it was too difficult for him. However, he experimented a bit with science fiction and once he got into Arthur C. Clarke's Odyssey series, he was hooked. He finished the trilogy and now he confided to me that he wants to tackle The Brothers K.

It doesn't matter so much what you read but that you read at all.

Begin with classic adventure stories. Ask him to think. Then introduce him to Shakespeare. Take him to see Titus Andronicus and Taming of the Shrew and Macbeth and Hamlet. Watching them first, or high quality film adaptations should dip his toe into the genre.
Alternatively, slaughterhouse v, clockwork Orange, Dante's inferno. Videogameish books. That's not to say they're bad, though.
