ENDORSEMENTS

"A timely and sophisticated examination how politics and reality have inverted the promised by games. Max Haiven goes beyond the usual platitudes to question just what games and gamification offer, and how they shape our thinking."
—Adrian Hon, author of You’ve Been Played and A New History of the Future in 100 Objects

"An eye-opening and head-spinning exploration of how twenty-first-century fascisms, incubated by the myths and miseries of financialized capitalism, weave violent alliances between the ‘cheated’ and the ‘cheats.’ The Player and the Played is an antifascist game manual for our age of dominance without hegemony."
—Alberto Toscano, author of Late Fascism
