Or, in fact, to spend all night talking to him before he gets an emergency phone call and dashes off without swapping numbers.

By turns epic and intimate, profound and gripping, Indignity is a meditation on the fragility of truth, both personal and political.

The philosopher C. Thi Nguyen—one of the leading experts on the philosophy of games and the philosophy of data—takes us deep into the heart of games, and into the depths of bureaucracy, to see how scoring systems shape what we care about.

They remind us that it isn’t always about outcomes, but about how glorious it feels to be doing the thing.
