Power Play

"Power Play" by George E. Osborn explores how video games, the world's largest entertainment medium, are being used by autocrats, populists, and extremists to influence real-world events and public opinion. The book reveals how nations and influential figures leverage the digital communities fostered by gaming to shape narratives, spread disinformation, and wield power in a rapidly evolving political landscape. Supported by insights from experts across fields, it offers a crucial understanding of this emerging frontier and what democracies must do to protect and harness the influence of gaming.
