Publication day for YOU'VE BEEN PLAYED is off to a mindblowing start with an @nytimesbooks review!

"That Hon is neither Luddite nor scold lends his criticisms of gamification bite and authority." https://t.co/EvN3ToGMWO

I visited one of the hottest tickets in London: The Manikins, a mind-bending immersive theatre show for one blurring the line between reality and fiction.

And I returned to Bridge Command for a very different kind of sci-fi story with far less shooting! https://t.co/cfVVQcKdue

I had a great wide-ranging discussion with @negativlandland recently about ARGs, conspiracy theories, immersive experiences, and spatial audio!

Te guste o no. Lo sepas o no. La #gamificación ha llegado para quedarse. Gobiernos y autoridades la utilizan. 'Te la han jugado' no solo denuncia, sino que nos enseña a mantener nuestra #autonomía.

Ten of the books I've enjoyed the most this year!

Mostly non-fiction for my research on immersive art, but I read about everything from theme parks and Elizabethan entertainments to philosophy and film criticism. https://t.co/hdPrC7lU7T

My book’s Spanish translation is out this month!

“You’ve Been Played is a sharp invective against a world run by technology that tries to convince us that misery is fun, a rallying cry for anyone who wants to preserve their dignity and autonomy.”

@cameo I’m definitely coming with high expectations! Overall I thought it was well done and I’m still impressed by the price

[Adrian Hon @adrianhon]

Three reviews!

Burnout Paradise, a show that's not about the game but *is* about surviving our neoliberal hellscape.

Temping, a show for one where you "work" in an office.

The Morrison Game Factory, an "immersive" tabletop narrative puzzle game. https://t.co/PsNotap8q6

I'm speaking at the @ImmersiveExpNet Summit in London on 21st Oct!

Tickets are still available! https://t.co/kWFI6qizrV

I went to the Immersion festival in Turku, Finland to answer a simple question: do Nordic Larps live up to the hype?

Yes, they do.

Come for a deep dive on the three larps I played, stay for thoughts on immersive theatre and radical inclusion. https://t.co/TLTJkfAKhq

Su @ilpost si parla di come la gamification "sia sfuggita di mano", citando tra gli altri @adrianhon, che a settembre sarà ospite, proprio per parlare di questo tema, a #FestLet https://t.co/HYTZ9oq9gr

Re-upping my in-depth review of Bridge Command for Euro/Asia: 

A real life starship simulator powered by an open source game engine, multiple live actors, and one of the most impressive and interactive physical sets I've seen outside of Disney! https://t.co/2YRm8aka2o

[Adrian Hon @adrianhon]

@NinjaJez One day, perhaps! (And glad you liked it!)

[Adrian Hon @adrianhon]

Bridge Command is a thrilling starship simulator where up to 14 players embark on missions of exploration, diplomacy, and war.

It's one of the most successful marriages of video games, RPGs, and LARPs I've played, which is why I wrote 5000 words on it! https://t.co/2YRm8akHRW

[Adrian Hon @adrianhon]

You’ve Been Played, my book critiquing gamification, is coming out in Spain in September!
