Neil Strauss became famous to millions around the world as the author of The Game, An account of how he transformed himself from a scrawny, insecure nerd into the ultra-confident, ultra-successful 'pickup artist' known as Style. The book made Strauss a household name revered - or notorious - among men and women alike.The experience of writing The Game transformed Strauss into a man who could have what every man wants. But they also conditioned him to view the world as a kind of constant parade of women, sex, and opportunity - with intimacy and long-term commitment taking a back seat. That is, until he met the woman who forced him to choose between herself and the parade. The choice forced Strauss deep into his past, to confront the childhood that shaped the man that he became. It sent him into extremes of behaviour that exposed just how conflicted his life had become. Game Over? charts Strauss' investigations into polyamorous communities, celibacy, sex addiction clinics and every permutation of relationship. And it made him question everything he knew about himself, and about the way men and women live with and without each other. . . He would never be the same again. Game Over? may have the same effect on you.

Industry Reviews

The guy who wrote The Game and lived The Game searches for love and learns that it's way, way harder. And funnier * Time * [Strauss] charms us with confessions of his screwed-up childhood and the many idiotic beliefs and mistakes that have plagued him, then upsells us on the notion that we can be masters of the universe-and he can teach us how. Colour me seduced -- Laura Miller * Slate * The Truth is fantastic ... In the course of exorcising his pickup artist demons, Strauss learns and exposes the barriers to intimacy that so many of us are carrying around. If you've struggled with monogamy, or loved someone who has, this book is revelatory * Chicago Tribune * Maybe this man can teach me something after all -- Suzy Greaves * Psychologies * Pick-up pro Neil Strauss follows The Game with a new take on love and lust ... Might make you think twice before you right swipe, have your head turned or attempt to talk your girlfriend into a threesome * GQ * Praise for The Game: 'A narrative of daredevil sexuality * Guardian * Loving it! * Elle Magazine * Touching and witty * Time Out * The funniest book I have read this year -- Tony Parsons
