I have not played the game yet, but this is the best title for a game.
Viewing post in Playing the game is letting it exist. comments
Okay, played it! Good work - particularly the soundscape helps to create the world. Just a note - Blood in the Machine is a book about the luddites. People today think they were anti technology, but it's actually a successful labor movement that was later smeared to make them look scared of technology. I don't personally think anti-technology is what we want - we want to control the use of technology, not give up on it just because it's used to maximize profit under our current society. Games can help us imagine that future.
Thank you!
For the end ressources (where links are a bit broken, sorry), I tried to privilege action you can actually apply. Some of them are really radically anti-tech and some other aren't that much (but focus on the idea that "knowledge is power"). Example is Seven Grams, an augmented reality app that tells you about Congo minings of rare metals for phones, directly from your own phone. (We're creatures of paradox and that's what's beautiful about us.)
Also, Luddite reference is actually about the Luddite Club which is a different movement haha.
