Chapter 1 "Gamic Action: Four Moments" is insanely clear and quite edifying. Galloway mobilises a bag of Deleuzian concepts to analyse a shockingly large amount of games beyond narratives and ludic loops. To me the most exciting of these is his analysis of "nondiagetic operator acts"; acts like inventory management and menu diving that are "allegor[ies] for the algorithmic structure of today's informatic culture"
