Play Anything

Everyday life is filled with meetings and traffic, errands and emails. Nothing we'd ever call fun. But what if we've gotten fun wrong? In Play Anything, visionary game designer and philosopher Ian Bogost shows how the boring, ordinary world around us is filled with endless, playful possibilities. Drawing from Internet culture, moral philosophy, ancient poetry, and modern consumerism, Bogost shows us how today's chaotic world is tamed—and enjoyed—when we first impose boundaries on ourselves.
