With the blazing mind of a scientist and the keen eye of a poet, Clancy emerges as one of the most important new writers of her generation
With the blazing mind of a scientist and the keen eye of a poet, Clancy emerges as one of the most important new writers of her generation
A book to get the neurons firing. As a passionate game player I loved reading a neuroscientist’s perspective on the role games have played in humanity’s attempts to navigate the game of life. A dopamine hit on every page
PLAYING WITH REALITY is the critical history of games I've been waiting for. Fast-paced and enjoyable, you'll never look at a pair of dice — or your smartphone — the same again
A gripping narrative that reveals why games matter and just how powerful they can be. It should be required reading for anyone who develops games and everyone who plays them
Playing With Reality is as surprising, and as delightful, as the many games it analyzes. From ancient games of chance to the latest advances in AI, Kelly Clancy has written the definitive account of how we—as individuals and as a society—learn through play
Life is full of games but if we don't know we're playing, there's every chance games are playing us. Whether they are the games hidden in politics, war, business – or in everyday work and play – Clancy will have you asking who set the rules — and who stands to benefit. Playing with Reality is as addictive and engrossing as the games Clancy lucidly describes
Clancy weaves a clear-eyed account of games from ancient history—they predate written language, she tells us—to the modern world of computers and the Internet… Clancy carefully puts these historical moments and developments in context. This approach is particularly pleasurable when it takes the form of deep dives into specific games… contextualizes and clarifies the upshot of losing perspective
A sweeping investigation… The history fascinates, and Clancy’s sophisticated analysis highlights the dangers of overgeneralizing from games to reality... Readers won’t want to put this down
Absorbing. . . . A revealing look at the hidden role that games have played in human development for centuries
Kelly Clancy, PhD, is a neuroscientist and physicist who has held research positions at MIT, Berkeley, University College London, and DeepMind. She develops novel brain-computer interfaces with the aim of understanding the principles of intelligence. Her writing has appeared in Wired, Harper's and The New Yorker. She spent her childhood being repeatedly murdered by her sisters in the video game GoldenEye 007.
