How games are being harnessed as instruments of exploitation—and what we can do about it Warehouse workers pack boxes while a virtual dragon races across their screen. If they beat their colleagues, they get an award. If not, they can be fired. Uber presents exhausted drivers with challenges to keep them driving. China scores its citizens so they behave well, and games with in-app purchases use achievements to empty your wallet. Points, badges, and leaderboards are creeping into every aspect of modern life. In You’ve Been Played, game designer Adrian Hon delivers a blistering takedown of how corporations, schools, and governments use games and gamification as tools for profit and coercion. These are games that we often have no choice but to play, where losing has heavy penalties. You’ve Been Played is a scathing indictment of a tech-driven world that wants to convince us that misery is fun, and a call to arms for anyone who hopes to preserve their dignity and autonomy.

We all wish we had more control. When our relationships are strained, when our bodies refuse to cooperate, when the future is uncertain, control promises security and peace. If only I were in charge, we dream. And this illusion seems more attainable than ever. Technology, science, medicine, and the internet all promise us ever-increasing mastery over our world. The problem is, control is a "devil's deal." The more we seek it, the more it betrays us. In place of predictability, it gives us anxiety. In place of certainty, it creates more complexity. And in place of unity, it divides. It's not just that we cannot control things; it's that we break them even more when we try. Thankfully the answer to our craving is not simply to "let go and let God." When our kids aren't listening, when our loved ones are self-destructing, or when our health is declining, we don't have to scramble after control, nor do we have to throw up our hands. Instead, God has given us a better tool. In this culturally insightful and eye-opening book, Sharon Hodde Miller helps us discover the real power God has given us in Christ, to exercise influence over ourselves and our lives.

Everyone has a story to tell. That's what I have been told. If I were to describe just who I am, the answer would be simple: I am you. I am the same as any one of you, and any of you could have written this story. I could tell you where I was born, where I grew up, where I went to school; but in all actuality, it doesn't really matter because it could have been Any City, USA. My love for this country and my love of life inspired me to put pen to paper merely because I am dumbfounded with where we've ended up. If I were to break it down in the purest form of what the reason is, I would have to say it's because of the shunning of factual information dismissed by the majority of the American public. As I wrote in the first two chapters of this book in detailed memories, it gives most of the individuals who have lived in my era a sense of how things have drastically changed. How they've become more complicated from a time when things were ever-so-simple-and how this was stolen from us by a very powerful group that still exists today. Yet, everyone just stands by and continues to endure the injustices to our human race across the globe. The family in this book portrays hope for the future. Their courageous struggle finds you rooting for the good guys like sitting in some theatre, biting your fingernails to the very end. The irony is that the timeline follows exactly with what is going on in today's world. Our heroes have all been killed and the evildoers who have a plan for us must be stopped without question. The book lends the questions, "Did Jim Garrison-the only man who brought a trial in the Kennedy assassination against big government-do enough to stop those forces and bring justice to our world? Have we all done enough?" I close my eyes and dream of those easy-going days of old, when dinners were the most important time of day, when families came first in our lives. The days when I watched Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy greet those fans at Love Field with huge smiles on their faces shortly before tragedy struck. The day our world-as we knew it-changed forever. Where are our heroes today? What happened to our hope? The family in this book is the hope-the optimism-that we all possess. We must never let them take away our aspirations. And that is the key for our world's survival which will conquer any criminal force.

One of the Best Books of the Year Time * NPR * Washington Post * Bloomberg News * Chicago Tribune * Chicago Public Library * Fortune * Los Angeles Times * E! News * The Telegraph * Apple * Library Journal In this newly updated edition of the "meticulous and devastating" (Associated Press) account of violence and espionage that spent months on the New York Times Bestsellers list, Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost - from Hollywood to Washington and beyond. In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family. This is the untold story of the exotic tactics of surveillance and intimidation deployed by wealthy and connected men to threaten journalists, evade accountability, and silence victims of abuse. And it's the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in AutobiographyIndie Bound #1 BestsellerUSA Today BestsellerWall Street Journal Bestseller
