I know many people manually track what they eat, how much they spend, how long they spend in the gym, which books they read, and which movies they watch on a daily basis. I think it'll just be a matter of time before people make all this information public in a semantic format. When there's enough information with numbers attached to it, everything can potentially become a game. Schell is right in this aspect.
However, I think Schell goes a little over the top towards the end though- won't humans be sick of all the gaming? There are some information they'd want to use to game, other information they want to keep private. Also, I don't think there'd be that many real-world benefits attached to data mined off people: they'd always find a way to cheat then.
