Description
Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World challenges conventional thinking about the role of games in our lives. With over 31 million gamers in the UK, it's clear that games are a significant part of modern culture. But what if games aren't just a form of entertainment, but a powerful tool for personal and social change?
Game designer Jane McGonigal argues that games have the potential to improve our own lives and to change the world. By exploring the ways in which games can be used to build community, foster creativity, and promote social change, McGonigal reveals a new vision for the future of gaming and beyond.
This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the power of games to shape our world. With its unique blend of game design, social science, and personal narrative, Reality is Broken is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the future of gaming and the potential for games to make a positive impact on society.
