This episode of Weird Studies is one of the best things on the topics of [[Game]] and [[Play]] that I have come across recently: https://www.weirdstudies.com/117 There is so much to unpack in this episode, just starting from the Heraclitus fragment quote is enough: '"Time is a child at play.." They have also included a very interesting list of references: **Some greatest hits:** Roger Caillois, *Man, Play, and Games* Johan Huizinga, *Homo Ludens* Ludwig Wittgenstein, *Philosophical Investigations* BF Skinner, American psychologist Eduardo Vivieros de Castro, *Cannibal Metaphysics* **Some new finds that I will be looking into:** Bernard Suits, *The Grasshopper: Games, Life, and Utopia* Jobe Bittman, *The Book of Antitheses* C. Thi Nguyen, *Games: Agency as Art* **And some timeless ones:** Heraclitus, *Fragments*
