Thorin Kafka’s Reviews > Playing with Reality: How Games Have Shaped Our World > Status Update

African philosophy Ubuntu “I am because we are”; Bernard Suits book “The Grasshopper; games can model utopia but they can also temper dystopia; lots of good stuff here

Very interesting, though at times I feel like I’m losing the authors voice. A lot of fascinating stuff in here. The MENACE model for artificial learning was an interesting read, and Von Neumann’s work in game theory being a partial expression of trying to find order in the chaos of WW2 is fascinating.
