Waddle We Do Now? - Penguin Random House, Board of Directors

A room without books is like a body without a soul- Marcus Tullius Welcome, delegates to the Penguin Random House specialized agency! In an increasingly polarized and technologically driven world, delegates will be tasked with protecting the sacred art of writing. With the rise of censorship, artificial intelligence, and the growing demand for digital alternatives in publishing, the future of both storytelling and physical media rests on your shoulders. As Penguin Random House stakeholders and workers, it is your task to not just return the print media company back to its former glory, but to navigate how the power of the pen can be restored against literature endangerment and electronic media giants. Preserving the sanctity of printed publishing while embracing a rapidly evolving, technology-driven literary feature will be no easy task. In this 21-st century committee, delegates will need to situate their solutions with the context of the modern day, innovating beyond purely historical precedents. Just as stories evolve, so too must the ways in which they are created, shared and preserved. As such, delegates will need to critically engage with all the factors impacting the publishing house simultaneously, from the accelerating pace of technological evolution to the decline of originality due to automation and the rise of censorship. At its core, Penguin Random House is not just a “house” but a “home,” making it imperative that delegates work together to protect the company by sharing, adjusting and innovating from each other’s ideas. Success in this committee and the fate of the publishing company will rely on collective cooperation and teamwork. Working in the shadow of literature’s impending doom, delegates will be challenged to craft fast and dynamic solutions against plot twists and changing circumstances in their quest to save Penguin Random House. As a specialized committee, delegates will face enormous pressure, bearing the weight of the future of not just this publishing company, but the future of print as well. Decisions made will shape the new era of literature in modern day. In this new chapter, the future is in your hands. Will Penguin Random House be saved and endure the literary transition, or will a fate where books fade into obscurity come to pass?
