Hamsters
Next to this experiment in the chapter
People tapped everywhere: in offices in Moscow and Tashkent, in queues, on the metro, at boring meetings and under the blanket before sleep. Anatoly Aksakov, chairman of the State Duma’s financial market committee, called in July 2024 for the game to be banned and called it a scam. The authorities of Uzbekistan and Ukraine warned citizens of the risks. In Iran, where inflation was eating up salaries, the hamster caught on so massively that the military and state media declared the game an instrument of the West’s soft war against the Islamic Republic. In a few months the hamster in a business suit became an enemy of two states and a hero to millions of people who, in those very same countries, poked at him for hours a day.
