Visionary game designer Jane McGonigal reveals how we can harness the power of games to solve real-world problems and boost global happiness.
More than 174 million Americans are gamers, and the average young person in the United States will spend ten thousand hours gaming by the age of twenty-one. According to world-renowned game designer Jane McGonigal, the reason for this mass exodus to virtual worlds is that videogames are increasingly fulfilling genuine human needs. In this groundbreaking exploration of the power and future of gaming, McGonigal reveals how we can use the lessons of game design to fix what is wrong with the real world.
Drawing on positive psychology, cognitive science, and sociology, Reality Is Broken uncovers how game designers have hit on core truths about what makes us happy and utilized these discoveriesto astonishing effect in virtual environments. Videogames consistently provide the exhilarating rewards, stimulating challenges, and epic victories that are so often lacking in the real world. But why, McGonigal asks, should we use the power of games for escapist entertainment alone? Her research suggests that gamers are expert problem solvers and collaborators because they regularly cooperate with other players to overcome daunting virtual challenges, and she helped pioneer a fast-growing genre of games that aims to turn gameplay to socially positive ends.
In Reality Is Broken , she reveals how these new alternate reality games are already improving the quality of our daily lives, fighting social problems such as depression and obesity, and addressing vital twenty-first-century challenges-and she forecasts the thrilling possibilities that lie ahead. She introduces us to games like World Without Oil, a simulation designed to brainstorm-and therefore avert- the challenges of a worldwide oil shortage, and Evoke, a game commissioned by the World Bank Institute that sends players on missions to address issues from poverty to climate change.
McGonigal persuasively argues that those who continue to dismiss games will be at a major disadvantage in the coming years. Gamers, on the other hand, will be able to leverage the collaborative and motivational power of games in their own lives, communities, and businesses. Written for gamers and nongamers alike, Reality Is Broken shows us that the future will belong to those who can understand, design, and play games.
Jane McGonigal is the director of game research and development at the Institute for the Future. Her work has been featured in The Economist, Wired, and The New York Times; and on MTV, CNN, and NPR. In 2009, BusinessWeek called her one of the ten most important innovators to watch. She has given keynote addresses at TED, South by Southwest Interactive, and the Game Developers Conference and was a featured speaker at The New Yorker Conference.
作者调动读者情绪的能力真是无敌,全书都是洗脑式的演讲腔,但读起来也颇有意思。书的确太片面了,现实中也的确很多Gamification的实践都失败了,但也有一些非常成功(比如duolingo,udacity,以及现实中的各种积分)。还是相信Gamification能够给世界带来改变呢,未来有机会的话,努力争取研究这个相关吧。
评分改变了我对一个熟视无睹的行业的看法,每一个案例都让人耳目一新,对在SNS里如何engage消费者非常有启发。豆瓣上评了3星的人,要不就没有看完,要不就没有真正理解作者的意思。在TED上面也可以找到她的ted talk,有兴趣的同学可以先看看。
评分也算了,看不下去,后来老是觉得作者在说游戏能干吗干吗,但是举例子老是玩游戏本身,而没有很多具体的“成功把游戏心理应用到生活中'做正事'”的例子,只应用游戏心理玩游戏的话,对我来说没半点意思。
评分认真读了前一半,后面就不断讲例子了,作为non-gamer,前一半还是很有意思的。

我们如何看待游戏? 在读过书以后,我还看了《游戏改变世界》作者Jane McGonigal的TED演讲,http://t.cn/zlqHf0v。 作为普通人的我们,可能低估了游戏的力量; 作为作者的Jane,可能夸大了游戏的力量。游戏如水,水能载舟,亦能覆舟,是载舟还是覆舟,人是其中的关键力量。 ...
评分我是本次 秋叶读书会第6期的书友 齐凯。 在9月2日到6日期间参加了秋叶《游戏改变世界》的读书会。 作为一个待审2-4的准2级拆书家,和参加过其他或长到1年的《非暴力沟通》线下读书会或短的到3小时的线下各个全国共拆。秋叶的读书会确实是最有特色的。 主要体现在下面几点: 1、...
评分9月底刚跟儿子玩了3个多小时桌面游戏大富翁,在他妈的勒令之下我们才散场(请注意孩儿他妈也是游戏成员之一,三个人玩更有意思),最终统计结果是儿子得第一人。他最近一直张罗着要继续玩,可见游戏的魅力很大。我本人玩电游的历史可以追溯到20多年前的街机时代,很上瘾——拿...
评分之前读《游戏改变世界》,读着读着,忽然想起多年前一件事: 那时我们刚刚有了自己的小家, 春节的时候,几个姨带着表弟们来我家玩。他们呆了一会就发现我家太无聊了,什么娱乐设施都没有。那时候智能手机也还未流行,所以弟弟们就打开了我家的所有电脑,每台都下载了植物大战...
评分翻阅着这本《游戏改变世界》,诚惶诚恐,我觉得这本书在对我的启发上完全可以媲美甚至超越六月份读过的《暗时间》,有点兴奋,再早点遇到这本书就好了。 其实我自己就是作者描述的这一类人,如今刚满二十岁不久的我,自2004年接触第一款游戏《热血传奇》以来,在游戏中至少已...
