Book excerpt: As an editor, Tabby spends her days reading books and making them better. It's a dream job... and a certain colleague is the cherry on top. Marie is kind and supportive, as well as drop-dead gorgeous, and Tabby's heart does a little dance whenever she's around. Given half a chance, Marie could fall for her smart, witty coworker - but Tabby is straight, so they can only be friends. When the two run into the last jerk Tabby dated, Marie pretends to be her girlfriend as revenge. It's just a silly game to put the ex in his place... until he gets hired at their company. Now Tabby and Marie can fess up to the truth - or double down and fake a whole relationship. Choosing to continue could be a dangerous game. But what if the prize could be greater than either of them imagine?
Book Synopsis The Reality Game by : Samuel Woolley
Download or read book The Reality Game written by Samuel Woolley and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fake news posts and Twitter trolls were just the beginning. What will happen when misinformation moves from our social media feeds into our everyday lives? Online disinformation stormed our political process in 2016 and has only worsened since. Yet as Samuel Woolley shows in this urgent book, it may pale in comparison to what's to come: humanlike automated voice systems, machine learning, "deepfake" AI-edited videos and images, interactive memes, virtual reality, and more. These technologies have the power not just to manipulate our politics, but to make us doubt our eyes and ears and even feelings. Deeply researched and compellingly written, The Reality Game describes the profound impact these technologies will have on our lives. Each new invention built without regard for its consequences edges us further into this digital dystopia. Yet Woolley does not despair. Instead, he argues pointedly for a new culture of innovation, one built around accountability and especially transparency. With social media dragging us into a never-ending culture war, we must learn to stop fighting and instead prevent future manipulation. This book shows how we can use our new tools not to control people but to empower them.
Book Synopsis The (Fake) Dating Game by : Timothy Janovsky
Download or read book The (Fake) Dating Game written by Timothy Janovsky and published by Harlequin. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Game show antics, idiots in love, and a healthy dose of steam…this book is everything I want in a romance novel!” —Alison Cochrun, author of The Charm Offensive and Kiss Her Once for Me Ready. Set. Faux. Holden James picked the worst time to have a meltdown. His chance to audition for his favorite game show, Madcap Market, should have been a moment of triumph—a glorious, loving homage to his adored mom, who died six years ago. Instead, he’s destroying the minibar in a grim Los Angeles hotel room…recently dumped, partnerless and sliding into misery. But at least the hotel service is sublime. It even comes with an unfairly fit and sexy (smart-ass) concierge who arrives at the door with pizza, Monopoly and deliciously distracting forearms. All Holden knows about Leo Min is that he’s beautiful and unexpectedly sympathetic, and the chemistry between them is beyond. Maybe it’s even enough to convince everyone, including the show’s casting directors, that they’re a real couple. All they’d have to do is crush the competition, win the huge cash prize and all of Holden’s problems—his broken heart, his buried grief, his complete lack of money and direction—will be fixed. Of course, reality doesn’t quite work out that way. But love is an entirely different game… From showing up to glowing up, these characters are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way.

Book Synopsis Gaming Masculinity by : Megan Condis
Download or read book Gaming Masculinity written by Megan Condis and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2016, a female videogame programmer and a female journalist were harassed viciously by anonymous male online users in what became known as GamerGate. Male gamers threatened to rape and kill both women, and the news soon made international headlines, exposing the level of abuse that many women and minorities face when participating in the predominantly male online culture. Gaming Masculinity explains how the term “gamer” has been constructed in the popular imagination by a core group of male online users in an attempt to shore up an embattled form of geeky masculinity. This latest form of toxicity comes at a moment of upheaval in gaming culture, as women, people of color, and LGBTQ individuals demand broader access and representation online. Paying close attention to the online practices of trolling and making memes, author Megan Condis demonstrates that, despite the supposedly disembodied nature of life online, performances of masculinity are still afforded privileged status in gamer culture. Even worse, she finds that these competing discourses are not just relegated to the gaming world but are creating rifts within the culture at large, as witnessed by the direct links between the GamerGate movement and the recent rise of the alt-right during the last presidential election. Condis asks what this moment can teach us about the performative, collaborative, and sometimes combative ways that American culture enacts race, gender, and sexuality. She concludes by encouraging designers and those who work in the tech industry to think about how their work might have, purposefully or not, been developed in ways that are marked by gender.
Download or read book The Monopolists written by Mary Pilon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Monopolists reveals the unknown story of how Monopoly came into existence, the reinvention of its history by Parker Brothers and multiple media outlets, the lost female originator of the game, and one man's lifelong obsession to tell the true story about the game's questionable origins. Most think it was invented by an unemployed Pennsylvanian who sold his game to Parker Brothers during the Great Depression in 1935 and lived happily--and richly--ever after. That story, however, is not exactly true. Ralph Anspach, a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game decades later, unearthed the real story, which traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Quakers, and a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie who invented her nearly identical Landlord's Game more than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly. Her game--underpinned by morals that were the exact opposite of what Monopoly represents today--was embraced by a constellation of left-wingers from the Progressive Era through the Great Depression, including members of Franklin Roosevelt's famed Brain Trust. A gripping social history of corporate greed that illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century, The Monopolists reads like the best detective fiction, told through Monopoly's real-life winners and losers.

Download or read book Real Games written by Mia Consalvo and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we talk about games as real or not-real, and how that shapes what games are made and who is invited to play them. In videogame criticism, the worst insult might be “That's not a real game!” For example, “That's not a real game, it's on Facebook!” and “That's not a real game, it's a walking simulator!” But how do people judge what is a real game and what is not—what features establish a game's gameness? In this engaging book, Mia Consalvo and Christopher Paul examine the debates about the realness or not-realness of videogames and find that these discussions shape what games get made and who is invited to play them. Consalvo and Paul look at three main areas often viewed as determining a game's legitimacy: the game's pedigree (its developer), the content of the game itself, and the game's payment structure. They find, among other things, that even developers with a track record are viewed with suspicion if their games are on suspect platforms. They investigate game elements that are potentially troublesome for a game's gameness, including genres, visual aesthetics, platform, and perceived difficulty. And they explore payment models, particularly free-to-play—held by some to be a marker of illegitimacy. Finally, they examine the debate around such so-called walking simulators as Dear Esther and Gone Home. And finally, they consider what purpose is served by labeling certain games “real."
Download or read book Fake News written by Melissa Zimdars and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New perspectives on the misinformation ecosystem that is the production and circulation of fake news. What is fake news? Is it an item on Breitbart, an article in The Onion, an outright falsehood disseminated via Russian bot, or a catchphrase used by a politician to discredit a story he doesn't like? This book examines the real fake news: the constant flow of purposefully crafted, sensational, emotionally charged, misleading or totally fabricated information that mimics the form of mainstream news. Rather than viewing fake news through a single lens, the book maps the various kinds of misinformation through several different disciplinary perspectives, taking into account the overlapping contexts of politics, technology, and journalism. The contributors consider topics including fake news as “disorganized” propaganda; folkloric falsehood in the “Pizzagate” conspiracy; native advertising as counterfeit news; the limitations of regulatory reform and technological solutionism; Reddit's enabling of fake news; the psychological mechanisms by which people make sense of information; and the evolution of fake news in America. A section on media hoaxes and satire features an oral history of and an interview with prankster-activists the Yes Men, famous for parodies that reveal hidden truths. Finally, contributors consider possible solutions to the complex problem of fake news—ways to mitigate its spread, to teach students to find factually accurate information, and to go beyond fact-checking.

Book Synopsis Gaming the Metrics by : Mario Biagioli
Download or read book Gaming the Metrics written by Mario Biagioli and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the increasing reliance on metrics to evaluate scholarly publications has produced new forms of academic fraud and misconduct. The traditional academic imperative to “publish or perish” is increasingly coupled with the newer necessity of “impact or perish”—the requirement that a publication have “impact,” as measured by a variety of metrics, including citations, views, and downloads. Gaming the Metrics examines how the increasing reliance on metrics to evaluate scholarly publications has produced radically new forms of academic fraud and misconduct. The contributors show that the metrics-based “audit culture” has changed the ecology of research, fostering the gaming and manipulation of quantitative indicators, which lead to the invention of such novel forms of misconduct as citation rings and variously rigged peer reviews. The chapters, written by both scholars and those in the trenches of academic publication, provide a map of academic fraud and misconduct today. They consider such topics as the shortcomings of metrics, the gaming of impact factors, the emergence of so-called predatory journals, the “salami slicing” of scientific findings, the rigging of global university rankings, and the creation of new watchdogs and forensic practices.

Begin falling in love all over again! Book One: Abbie Tell has had it with men, especially since the last one she dated kept track of the miles on her car with a spreadsheet. After leaving her oppressive home behind to make it as an artist, Abbie has sworn that she will remain single and create a life for herself. But when she risks losing her art gallery and having to go back home, Abbie is desperate. To pay her bills, she must become an artist to the stunning billionaire Thomas Maxwell. That's fine—except that it turns out Thomas is also in trouble. Known for being hot, single, and adventurous, Thomas must look like he's settling down with a woman in order to inherit the family business. And Abbie's the best candidate. So what's the solution? Fake dating! It's only an act, after all, and Abbie swears she will never fall for Thomas... Book Two: Despite her vows to stay single and independent, Abbie Tell finds herself getting more involved than ever in super billionaire Thomas Maxwell's fake dating ploy. With the family business on the line, Thomas has upped the game--and now Abbie is Thomas's fake fiancee. It's still just a business deal, according to Thomas. Only it's not. Abbie has feelings for Thomas and she's getting the sense that Thomas is taking this further for reasons other than business. That would be great, but now Abbie's best friend hates her and her father's counting on her to marry Thomas so he can get his hands on the Maxwell family fortune. Abbie can back out whenever she wants--but she and Thomas share something deep, something Abbie has never experienced with another man, and even her fear of settling down may be no match for him. Book Three: Abbie has just broken some surprising news to Thomas—they're expecting their first child. With their fake marriage only one month away and Thomas's inheritance to be decided soon, Abbie and Thomas now face the prospect of parenthood. While Abbie is fearful that a baby will take away her identity, she wants to keep their child. But Thomas harbors a secret and it just may rip the two of them apart. Can Abbie and Thomas's love for each other conquer everything that life has thrown at them? The Billionaire's Fake Dating Game Box Set is a bundle of three humorous, contemporary romance reads.
