In MetaGame, the future of our world economy, social structure, and even religion is dominated by gaming. Well, that's sci-fi for ya--crazy, entertaining, maybe even thought provoking, but not reality.

But wait! There are serious people out there who not only think this future is possible, but even inevitable!

Check out Jesse Schell's blog "Gamepocalypse Now". Jesse's a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon university and the guy who wrote the bible on game design. Also, check out a video of his short lecture on world gamification: Beyond Facebook. There are a lot of parallels between his talk and MetaGame.

That would be awesome of MetaGame could become a futurist business book. I could use the cash. :)
