Description:

In Power Play, games industry expert George E. Osborn explores the burgeoning foreign and domestic movements to spread influence through video games, showing that our failure to date to take games seriously has led to a culture of complacency around their true impact and importance on the geopolitical stage.

Review Quotes: "Gaming environments have been a frontier for geopolitical influence and state control for longer than most of us would have thought, yet our collective awareness remains dangerously low. Osborn's book masterfully shines a much needed light on these issues, providing vital wake-up call for anyone concerned with the intersection of technology, power, and global security."--Dominik Swiecicki, Senior Analyst at the Swedish Psychological Defence Agency, currently Senior National Expert at the European Commission
