Programming Clojure, Third Edition: game arguments swapped (page 254)
The two arguments of game should swap positions. In the text:
(game random-player "hello")
Should be:
(game "hello" random-player)
Since all the examples later call the game function with the same swapped arguments, I’d suggest change the function definition :).

You are correct! I’ve changed all the invocations to match the code for the 4th edition.
