How Well Do You Live?
''Yes, I have a homeland. The French Language.'' - Albert Camus * Something very strange happened while I was reading this book. Usually, I have a few things on the run (too many books; too little time?), and this was added to a stack that often threatens to crush me in my sleep. I would skip from one to other, often disappointed, confused and enlightened...but rarely entertained (the cold and the darkness outside probably played a role, as did the constant running around from contract to contract). And I really don't care what any intellectual in any academic setting claims, you need to be entertained when you pick up a book.

Playing Against the Board
Playing Against the Board — Peter Ayolov’s Ludic Trilogy The Ludicrous Culture: Homo Ludens 2.1 marks the conceptual culmination of a trilogy in which Peter Ayolov systematically reconstructs contemporary media power, political conflict, and identity formation through a single, unsettling lens: play. Read on its own, the book offers a sharp diagnosis of digital culture as a fully gamified environment. Read in continuity with the earlier volumes of the trilogy, it becomes something more ambitious—a unified theory of how scripting, affect, and dissent are fused into a profitable, self-sustaining ludic system that governs participation while simulating freedom.
