Understanding the world through play.

Video games can change the world—in a positive way. Internationally renowned Austrian computer scientist Johanna Pirker is convinced of this. She demonstrates that video games are not only drivers of culture and innovation, but also have significant potential for politics, business, science, and society as a whole.

"The Game Is One" offers insight into a world that is still underestimated by many: video games have long been much more than a leisure activity for teenage nerds – almost half of gamers are female, and the average age is 36. Numerous studies have proven that games encourage social behavior, aid learning, and can serve as role models for a wide variety of fields, from medicine to industry. In her book, Johanna Pirker introduces readers to the world of gamers, dispels persistent prejudices, and explains how we can better understand the world with the help of video games. Supported by scientific facts, she explains how important games are for mental and emotional development, which details of modern everyday life are already based on games, and how many untapped possibilities there are still to be discovered.
