It’s book release day! I’m back on social media! I feel slightly awkward about it because part of the book is about how social media transforms your motivations for communication!

But honestly writing a book is lonely, weird basement-work, and now I want to talk to people about this weird jank.

“In THE SCORE, @add-hawk.bsky.social combines an enthusiast celebration of games’ inner workings with a lament for the power of metrics to flatten our lives & capture our values. He helps us see how games transform instincts into something beautiful.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
