Through Stefano Graziani’s colour photographs, this book features the 12 games resulting from the students' designs. The texts address the theme of playing from different perspectives, highlighting the relationship between design, education and cooperation. Each game — puppets, puzzles, masks, and mazes — has a strong empathic value, based on imagination and a broader exploration of reality.

Summary:
In this book, the authors suggest that "smartness" is not primarily a technology, but rather an epistemology. Through this lens, they offer a critical exploration of the practices, technologies, and subjects that such an understanding relies upon—above all, artificial intelligence and machine learning. They approach these not simply as techniques for solving problems of(...)

Through this lens, they offer a critical exploration of the practices, technologies, and subjects that such an understanding relies upon—above all, artificial intelligence and machine learning. They approach these not simply as techniques for solving problems of calculations, but rather as modes of managing life (human and other) in terms of neo-Darwinian evolution, distributed intelligences, and "resilience," all of which have serious implications for society, politics, and the environment.
