Play Anything: The Pleasure of Limits, the Uses of Boredom, and the Secret of Games
Philosophy / Design
Bogost's argument that play is not escape but a way of taking the world's constraints seriously enough to find joy inside them. Butterfield - a philosophy major and former game designer - wrote a cover blurb calling it the basis for creativity, well-being, and an antidote to detached irony.

“As the basis both for creativity and for well-being, as well as the antidote to detached irony, play is how we all recognize our Davids, big and small, from the infinite blocks of marble all around us.”
