Games

Agency As Art (Thinking Art)

C. Thi Nguyen

This book explores the unique value of games as an art form and communication tool. The author argues that playing games allows us to temporarily immerse ourselves in alternate agencies and experience the beauty of the struggle. Games offer a clear value system and the opportunity to develop new forms of agency. Bridging aesthetics and practical reasoning, this volume presents a new theory of games and their integral role in our lives.

PS @add_hawk's book "Games: Agency as Art" may be one of the most impactful book I've read in recent times. It goes well with "Seeing like a State".      source
