C. Thi Nguyen: How To Stop Playing Someone Else’s Game
Wednesday, 7 January, 2026
In this week’s Book Club podcast, my guest is the philosophy professor C. Thi Nguyen, whose new book The Score: How To Stop Playing Someone Else’s Game asks why rules and scores and metrics are so liberating in games, yet so deadening in real life. He tells me about the societal perils of our growing dependence on quantitative information, what Aristotle got right, and what yo-yos can tell us about the meaning of life.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
