Book Review - The Game

In the text elaborated by the writer and essayist Alessandro Baricco, "The Game", p. 324, published by Einaudi, 2018, the author invites us to reflect on the great stages of history that have accompanied man in his evolution from Homo analogicus to Homo digitalis. Although the digital revolution has followed a rather complex process, Baricco tries to trace the salient points that have constituted this change of scenery. A radical change in some ways but, in fact, after a careful analysis also shows some imperturbable (perhaps archetypal?) peculiarities of man: whether it is Homo analogicus or digitalis, in fact, what emerges are the typical traits of a Homo ludens.
