This double issue of Digital Culture & Society delves into the intricate interplay between play and labor, offering a comprehensive examination of the challenges and complexities associated with these two realms. Building upon the exploration of laborious play in the inaugural issue, this second edition takes a closer look at the concept of playful work.

It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the evolving nature of work and leisure in the contemporary world.
