Nice @nytimes @rpogrebin piece on @kinojabber's ‘Walden, A Game' ... I gave it a chapter in @GameBelieves book! nyti.ms/2lDTPlT

In ‘Walden’ Video Game, the Challenge Is Stillness (Published 2017)

Henry David Thoreau’s classic has inspired what some are calling the world’s most improbable video game, which the lead developer says aims for “a kind of stillness at its core.”

Thank you @gtoppo for adding discussion on video games & violence to book. Misconceptions about causality abound. Games don't=real violence.
