Winner of the 2020 European Essay Prize, this book is Alessandro Baricco’s attempt to understand the deep digital transformation we’re living through—arguing it isn’t only the result of new technologies and tools, but also a “mental uprising.” To make sense of this shift, he identifies the formative events that shaped contemporary digital attitudes and lifestyles, and he traces the history of a new civilization he calls THE GAME, which he says began with video games. Blending philosophical insight with humor, Baricco writes as a kind of historian/anthropologist/cartographer mapping this exhausting-to-reconstruct terrain.
