Publisher's Summary
This Is Not a Game is the extraordinary untold story of the internet’s first conspiracy theory, the legend of Ong’s Hat.
Marc Fennell will dive deep into a previously unexplored world of tech hippies, eccentric web subcultures and simmering paranoia, uncovering how this tongue-in-cheek artistic experiment backfired on its creator and went on to influence much of what’s wrong with the internet today.
Hosted and co-produced by Marc Fennell
A BBC Studios production for Audible

A cautionary tale - well told
Loved this podcast about the original internet conspiracy. A great dive down a rabbit hole and so well told.

Very interesting
A look at how making art can take over a life. I really liked this and I thought the utopian idea of everyone playing nicely on the internet was lovely. It’s a shame it went the way it went. This is why we can’t have nice things!

Fascinating series with a dose of 90s nostalgia
Highly recommended, particuarly if you were around for the dial-up era. You are in for a wild ride
