A philosophical essay contrasting finite win-lose contests with infinite games of ongoing play, reframing culture, religion, and freedom.
About
Details
Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life, the games we play in business and politics, in the bedroom and on the battlefield — games with winners and losers, a beginning and an end. Infinite games are the more mysterious — and ultimately more rewarding. They are unscripted and unpredictable; they are the source of true freedom.
-- from the back cover of the 1986 edition.
