Playing with Reality
By Kelly Clancy
This is a fascinating look inside game theory and the history of games— and how they shape ourselves and our world in so many ways.
With thorough research and thought-provoking conclusions, this book provides a readable, compelling journey through the past, present and future of games.
How do games shape our reality and our understanding of the world? Each chapter explores a different aspect and place in time, and each reads like a well-argued essay in itself— but together, they add up to something more.
Do note that there’s one chapter that is about Evolutionary Theory versus Creationist Theory, and the author is quite strongly evolutionary— if that might be an issue for you.
Thanks for reading! And look out for a guest post coming out soon…
And a question: what’s your favourite game to play?

Hmm good question... I would have to say Hearts.
Chess!
