Addiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas is a 2012 non-fiction book by Natasha Dow Schüll and published by Princeton University Press[1] that describes machine gambling in Las Vegas.[2] It offers an analysis of machine gambling and the intensified forms of consumption that computer-based technologies enable and the innovations that deliberately enhance and sustain the 'zone' which extreme machine gamblers yearn for.[3][4][5]
The book received attention in connection with how current information technologies, in certain contexts, can make people addicted.[3][6]
