'This is the best book on the topic you'll ever find' Steve Wozniak cofounder of Apple 'Games offer me the joys of complete absorption in a precise well-defined world... and within those strictures I find freedom.' Scoring systems are everywhere. Underpinning our daily lives - whether it's the fit bits on our wrists likes on social media and even school rankings - they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous warping our desires and outsourcing our values to external institutions. Instead of encouraging us to be more playful to take pleasure in the journey of striving towards a goal institutions corporations and bureaucracies weaponize scoring systems to impose their own interests. No matter what we always seem to be playing by someone else's rules. In The Score philosopher C. Thi Nguyen shows us how this newly 'gamified' world has fundamentally captured our value systems turning what might be moral or personal life choices into numerical data and forcing us to prioritise what can be measured and monetized over what is truly meaningful to us. A life-long lover of online and board games himself Nguyen argues that we should not stop playing games but rather take a step back and become more aware of their immersive and profound power so that we might chart a way towards more creative and joyful lives. To start playing our own game.
