In this session, the Italian writer and essayist Alessandro Baricco will talk with writer Jorge Carrión about how videogames help us to understand the various logics of the digital insurrection that has put an end to twentieth-century society’s traditional paradigms.

The world has become a huge digital playground, where the economy, information, and social interactions fluctuate at a dizzying pace. More and more gaming mechanisms and technologies, supposedly designed to make life easier are being introduced into our daily lives, but who really wins and who loses in this game?
