Introduction

At the edge of one of America’s most defining eras in its history, salvation comes from the most unlikely source: video games. Playin’ To Win: A Surgeon, Scientist and Parent Examines the Upside of Video Games, is inspired, in part, by many edgy titles that have previously probed the expanse of what could be.

Comparison to Other Works

It is a Freakonomics with a more grassroots subject matter that elicits an instantaneous visceral response from citizens of every walk of life. It is an Everything Bad Is Good For You with grittier details on how the unexpected can be incorporated into raising our society to the next level.

Core Message

Ultimately, it makes a case that video games can promote a Tipping Point with a focus on contributing to real world solutions. It is direct, thought-provoking and consistently challenges perceptions of the boundaries of reality.

Call to Action

It has to be! Because the readers will be the first to bear witness: this is a call for the start of a second American Revolution!
