Description

At the edge of one of America's most defining eras in its history, salvation comes from the most unlikely source: video games. "Playin' To Win" makes a case that video games can promote a Tipping Point with a focus on contributing to real world solutions. It is direct, thought-provoking and consistently challenges perceptions of the boundaries of reality.

James C. Rosser, Jr. MD FACS is a surgeon, educator, scientist, inventor, author, futurist, social advocate, television personality, actor, playwright, video gamer, comic book collector, lover of cinema, and self proclaimed terminal twelve old.

He has given more than 200 invited lectures around the world, written 55 peer reviewed articles, 16 chapters in books currently in print, and 11 electronic books. He holds two patents and several products and appliances have been developed to his credit. For his efforts, Butch has received numerous recognitions and awards, including keys to many cities, citations by several state legislatures, three Smithsonian awards for technical achievements in medicine, NAACP Living Legend Award in Medicine, National Mentoring Award and many others. Dr. Rosser has held academic appointments previously at Yale University School of Medicine, and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
