In recent decades, what could be considered a gamification of the
world has occurred, as the ties between games and activism, games
and war, and games and the city grow ever stronger. In this book,
Anne-Marie Schleiner explores a concept she calls 'ludic mutation',
a transformative process in which the player, who is expected to
engage in the preprogramed interactions of the game and accept its
imposed subjective constraints, seizes back some of the power
otherwise lost to the game itself. Crucially, this power grab is
also relevant beyond the game because players then see the external
world as material to be reconfigured, an approach with important
ramifications for everything from social activism to contemporary
warfare.
