Thi Nguyen\u2014one of the leading experts on the philosophy of games and the philosophy of data\u2014takes us deep into the heart of games, and into the depths of bureaucracy, to see how scoring systems shape our desires.<\/p>\n<p>Games are the most important art form of our era. They embody the spirit of free play. They show us the subtle beauty of action everywhere in life in video games, sports, and boardgames\u2014but also cooking, gardening, fly-fishing, and running. They remind us that it isn\u2019t always about outcomes, but about how glorious it feels to be doing the thing. And the scoring systems help get us there, by giving us new goals to try on.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring systems are also at the center of our corporations and bureaucracies\u2014in the form of metrics and rankings. They tell us exactly how to measure our success. They encourage us to outsource our values to an external authority. And they push on us to value simple, countable things. Metrics don\u2019t capture what really matters; they only capture what\u2019s easy to measure. The price of that clarity is our independence.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Score<\/i>\u00a0asks us is this the game you really want to be playing?<\/p>\n<h3>The Score: How to Stop Playing Somebody Else&#8217;s Game<\/h3>\n<p>By: C.
