Review of 'Wonderland: How Play Made the Modern World' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A fascinating discussion of how games and enjoyment work with – or actually are a PART of the anthropology and the creation of our current society! Games from ancient Arabic countries all the way through current times, as well as the pleasure that we as a people derive from spices, observing and interacting with other people, and observing and interacting with animals are all a part of what makes us us. Some of our greatest innovations are based on what creates and encourages pleasure, and this book does a good job describing it.
