书籍简介

哲学家阮氏茜（C. Thi Nguyen）——游戏哲学和数据哲学领域的专家之一——带领我们深入游戏的核心，以及官僚机构的运作机制，探究评分系统如何塑造我们的欲望。

游戏是我们这个时代重要的艺术形式。它们体现了自由玩耍的精神。它们向我们展示了生活中无处不在的行动之美，无论是在电子游戏、体育运动、棋盘游戏中，还是在烹饪、园艺、飞钓和跑步等日常活动中。它们提醒我们，重要的并非总是结果，而是做这件事本身所带来的愉悦感。而评分系统通过提供新的目标，帮助我们达到这种愉悦感。

评分系统也以指标和排名的形式存在于我们的企业和官僚机构的核心。它们告诉我们如何衡量成功。它们鼓励我们将价值观外包给外部。它们促使我们重视简单、可量化的事物。指标并不能反映真正重要的东西；它们只能反映容易衡量的东西。而这种清晰性带来的代价是我们的独立性。

评分系统会问我们：这真的是你想玩的游戏吗？

A philosophy of games to help us win back control over what we value

The philosopher C. Thi Nguyen—one of the leading experts on the philosophy of games and the philosophy of data—takes us deep into the heart of games, and into the depths of bureaucracy, to see how scoring systems shape our desires.

Games are the most important art form of our era. They embody the spirit of free play. They show us the subtle beauty of action everywhere in life in video games, sports, and boardgames—but also cooking, gardening, fly-fishing, and running. They remind us that it isn’t always about outcomes, but about how glorious it feels to be doing the thing. And the scoring systems help get us there, by giving us new goals to try on.

Scoring systems are also at the center of our corporations and bureaucracies—in the form of metrics and rankings. They tell us exactly how to measure our success. They encourage us to outsource our values to an external authority. And they push on us to value simple, countable things. Metrics don’t capture what really matters; they only capture what’s easy to measure. The price of that clarity is our independence.

The Score asks us is this the game you really want to be playing?
