made this possible. Players around the world compete for millions of dollars in prize money, and companies like Amazon, Coca Cola, and Intel have invested billions. Esports are now regularly played live on national TV. Hundreds of people have dedicated their lives to gaming, sacrificing their education, relationships, and even their bodies to compete, committing themselves with the same fervor of any professional athlete. In Good Luck Have Fun, author Roland Li talks to some of the biggest names in the business and explores the players, companies, and games that have made it to the new major leagues. Follow Alex Garfield as he builds Evil Geniuses, a modest gaming group in his college dorm, into a global, multimillion-dollar eSports empire. Learn how Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill made League of Legends the world’s most successful eSports league and most popular PC game, on track to make over $1 billion a year. See how Twitch.tv pivoted from a video streaming novelty into a $1 billion startup on the back of professional gamers. And dive into eSports’ dark side: drug abuse, labor troubles, and for each success story, hundreds of people who failed to make it big. With updates on recent developments, Good Luck Have Fun is the essential guide to the rise of an industry and culture that challenge what we know about sports, games, and competition.Economic Science Fictions (Goldsmiths Press / PERC Papers)
Par Edited by William Davies. 2018
An innovative new anthology exploring how science fiction can motivate new approaches to economics.From the libertarian economics of Ayn Rand…
to Aldous Huxley's consumerist dystopias, economics and science fiction have often orbited each other. In Economic Science Fictions, editor William Davies has deliberately merged the two worlds, asking how we might harness the power of the utopian imagination to revitalize economic thinking.Rooted in the sense that our current economic reality is no longer credible or viable, this collection treats our economy as a series of fictions and science fiction as a means of anticipating different economic futures. It asks how science fiction can motivate new approaches to economics and provides surprising new syntheses, merging social science with fiction, design with politics, scholarship with experimental forms. With an opening chapter from Ha-Joon Chang as well as theory, short stories, and reflections on design, this book from Goldsmiths Press challenges and changes the notion that economics and science fiction are worlds apart. The result is a wealth of fresh and unusual perspectives for anyone who believes the economy is too important to be left solely to economists.ContributorsAUDINT, Khairani Barokka, Carina Brand, Ha-Joon Chang, Miriam Cherry, William Davies, Mark Fisher, Dan Gavshon-Brady and James Pockson, Owen Hatherley, Laura Horn, Tim Jackson, Mark Johnson, Bastien Kerspern, Nora O Murchú, Tobias Revell et al., Judy Thorne, Sherryl Vint, Joseph Walton, Brian WillemsTransform into your most magical self with this one-of-a-kind, manga inspired self-care guide designed to help you discover and harness…

non-fiction dallo scrittore di best seller che la critica ha salutato come ‘uno dei più robusti autori di thriller sulla scena’. Siamo nel 2020 e il mondo è sull’orlo del collasso economico. Riusciranno a salvarci un gruppo di studenti prodigio guidati da un professore di economia con la testa fra le nuvole e una ragazza di 24 anni? Il crollo del marcato azionario ha generato un effetto domino di proporzioni disastrose. Le banche sono fallite e la gente si ribella per le strade delle città ormai in fiamme. Blackout enormi hanno ceduto il passo a definitivi errori di sistema. Il professore di Economia dell’università di Chicago, Harry Mason, consigliere dei presidenti degli Stati Uniti e del Dipartimento del Tesoro, ha riunito il suo dream team, ‘i genietti’, tra i più brillanti laureati in economia, in un corso sperimentale speciale. La loro missione: salvare il mondo. Ma forse è troppo tardi. Il romanziere Kenneth Eade e il saggista Gordon L. Eade fanno squadra per offrirci un thriler di meta fiction pensato per mostrarci come sopravvivere al prossimo crollo. Ecco cosa dice la critica di questo thriller finanziario: “Un omaggio a un padre e un altro romanzo di prima classe da Kenneth Eade!” Grady Harp, Top 100, Hall of Fame and Vine Voice Ed ecco cosa pensano i lettori di questo libro rivelazione sull’economia mondiale: “Se avessi letto questo libro 30 anni fa, oggi avrei molti più soldi in banca. Non lasciatevi ingannare dal fatto che è scritto come un romanzo. La fiction è utilizzata semplicemente per illuminare i fatti. Userò alcune di queste informazioni per migliorare i profitti dei miei investimenti.” L. Klopping “Dovrebbero leggerlo tutti, ho imparato tanto. 2020: l’economia mondiale sta collassando.
