Addiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas by Natasha Dow Schüll

challenging dark informative medium-paced

5.0

Natasha Dow Schüll's incredible research into gambling maschines is one of the base text any sociologist and designer should read. It is a long damning account on the extreme exploitation of people for profit. It's dooming but necessarily so. Schüll decades of field research is timely even now, as we see more of the same tactics being used by tech and gig working companies.
