Does anyone know if analytics is covered in more depth in the author's other works? This introduction was fantastic but left me wanting more!

Your point about analytics reminds me of a similar concept in a TED talk I encountered recently. The connections between these ideas are fascinating!

I'm curious - do you think the treatment of games was intentional or more of a byproduct of the narrative?
