Play Anything
The Pleasure of Limits, the Uses of Boredom, and the Secret of Games
Ian Bogost
Discover the secret to a fulfilling life in Play Anything. Author and game designer Ian Bogost reveals that games appeal to us not because they are fun, but because they set limitations. By accepting and embracing these limitations, we can turn even the most mundane tasks into sources of joy and creativity. With insights ranging from internet culture to ancient poetry, Play Anything is a must-read for anyone looking to find meaning and fun in our chaotic world.
