Description
In *The Score*, C. Thi Nguyen offers a profound exploration of the games we play, from beloved pastimes to the often-cruel "games" of societal expectations. Drawing on his deep appreciation for games, Nguyen reveals how scoring systems, often weaponized by institutions, can steer us away from genuine progress and joy. He argues for a conscious re-engagement with play, urging readers to understand the immersive power of games so they can reclaim agency and chart a course toward more creative and fulfilling lives. Through lucid philosophy and personal anecdotes, this book is an engaging invitation to start playing our own game.
