The Game: Historias del Mundo Digital Para Jovenes Aventureros - by Alessandro Baricco (Hardcover)

About the Book

Illustrated by Tommaso Vidus Rosin, The Game reworks and resizes the scope (and complexity) of the original essay's reflections, offering them to young readers through simple and ironic language. The Game is a territory created by us where we find ourselves every time we use a smartphone, download an app or play a video game. It seems like a fun and accessible place, but its rules are not so easy. To step on it without fear, we present this journey that begins in the most ancient lands (where the first computers that weighed tons were born) and ends on the shores of the Future, crossing the numerous islands that have emerged in a short time (the island of Video Games, that of Smartphones, the archipelago of Apps). We will thus discover how this Game has been formed and we will prepare for the next play.
