Abstract

Drawing on the latest findings in psychology, cognitive science and sociology, video game developer Jane McGonigal is turning gameplay to socially positive ends, developing new reality–based games that are designed to find solutions to business, health, social and environmental problems. She explores the power and future of gaming and reveals how its collaborative aspects are being used to solve some of the most difficult challenges facing humanity. Forecasting the thrilling possibilities that lie ahead, McGonigal challenges us to consider how the security industry might solve problems through the valuable "collective intelligence" that gaming generates."
