The Little Blue cog is grumpy. She has never been out of the machine and all she really wants is a little adventure. Will the other cogs be able to cheer her up or will it take more than that?
The Grumpy Cog is a story about the importance of autonomy and choice, written for children and grown-ups alike, by Gamification author Andrzej Marczewski
Andrzej is a father of two, husband (of one - because bigomy is frowned upon apparently...), reasonable guitarist, games lover, Batman nerd and Star Wars geek.
Over the years he has had a few jobs, from web designer, to learning technologist to consultant. What has always remained the same is his belief that games have much more to offer the world than just entertainment.
This led him to getting involved with gamification in his spare time. Now he is a recognised expert on the topic, writing a regular blog about gamification, keynote speaking, consulting on and designing solutions - and writing the occasional book.
