Originally published in 1969, The Game of the World brilliantly anticipates a 21st century in which ever-accelerating technological transformations coincide with a world at play and in play, at once fragmentary and totalised, disordered and hyper-organised. In the midst of this paradoxical and deranging becoming-planetary of the world, Axelos offers a sequence of profound meditations on play and playing, games and gaming, directing us towards new means of thinking and action that may enable us to face the world-historical challenges of our own present.ISBN-10: 1474449069Type: Architecture & MicroprocessorsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
