Summary "Is life really a finite game - a game of selection and rules, winners and losers, players and spectators? What if we are all part of a different type of game entirely - a game in which playing matters more than winning, a game that anyone can join at any time, a game in which rules evolve as new players turn up - an infinite game?"--Publisher information.
