內容簡介
We are living in a world full of games. More than 31 million people in the UK are gamers. The average young person will spend 10,000 hours gaming by the age of twenty-one. The future belongs to those who play games. In this ground-breaking book, visionary game designer Jane McGonigaI challenges conventional thinking and shows that games - far from being simply escapist entertainment - have the potential not only to radically improve our own lives but to change the world.
世界所有玩傢花在《魔獸世界》上的總時間超過593萬年,相當於從人類祖先第一次站起身來演進至今的時長;美國青年在21歲以前,玩遊戲的平均時長超過10000小時,10000小時足以讓他們成為專傢;通過遊戲,我們幫助他人改善生活,甚至解決能源危機。
遊戲,前所未有的占據和改變瞭我們的生活,它是如何擊中瞭人類幸福的核心,提供現實世界中匱乏的奬勵、挑戰和宏大勝利的?《遊戲改變世界》作者TED大會新銳演講者簡·麥戈尼格爾為我們揭開真相,遊戲可以彌補現實世界的不足和缺陷,遊戲化可以讓現實變得更美好,並用大量實踐告訴我們該如何駕馭遊戲的力量,解決現實問題,並提升幸福感。
《遊戲改變世界》指齣:遊戲化是互聯時代的重要趨勢。遊戲化將要實現四大目標:更滿意的工作、更有把握的成功、更強的社會聯係及更宏大的意義。如果人們繼續忽視遊戲,就會錯失良機,失去未來。而如果我們可以藉助遊戲的力量,便可以讓生活變得像遊戲一樣精彩!

精彩書評
People who spend hours playing video or online games are often maligned for “wasting their time” or “not living in the real world,” but McGonigal argues persuasively and passionately against this notion in her eminently effective examination of why games are important. She begins by disabusing the reader of some inherent prejudices and assumptions made about gamers, such as that they’re lazy and unambitious. Quite the opposite: McGonigal finds that gamers are working hard to achieve goals within the world of whatever game they are playing, whether it’s going on a quest to win attributes to enhance their in-game characters or performing tasks to get to a higher level in the game. Games inspire hard work, the setting of ambitious goals, learning from and even enjoying failure, and coming together with others for a common goal. McGonigal points out many real-world applications, including encouraging students to seek out secret assignments, setting up household chores as a challenge, even a 2009 game created by The Guardian to help uncover the excessive expenses of members of Parliament. With so many people playing games, this comprehensive, engaging study is an essential read. --Kristine Huntley
As addictive as Tetris, this penetrating, entertaining look into gaming culture is a vibrant mix of technology, psychology & sociology, told with the vision of a futurist & the deft touch of a storyteller. --Publisher's Weekly, starred review
