About

Connect[less] is a game about networking - a playful critical reflection on the self-improving and productive act of connecting with others in order to advance in your career and get access to more projects, work and money.

Introduction

“Well, if you are a [well-connected] man, you will [network] from morning till night. When you [wake up], you [get outside], and when [you get there, you network - you meet people and you connect with them]. You do that right straight through the day. And what’s more, no back talk. Now a [well-connected] man does just what he’s [supposed] to do, and no back talk. Do you understand that?” —I rephrased Frederick Winslow Taylor, The Principles of Scientific Management (1911) -Cited in "Selfwork", Karen Gregory; Kirsty Hendry; Jake Watts; Dave Young February 02, 2017
