Henry Farrell👍 Recommends
…henry farrell recommending book about games and structures with deep philosophical insights
“And the final book is a book by Thi Nguyen, which has just come out called The Score. And it's just, you know, I don't even know how to begin to describe this book. It is about making pizza. It is about games. It is about the big structures that shape our lives and how they don't recognize the knowledge and the wonder and the intimacy that we have together. And it pulls together these disparate and many other disparate things into this incredibly compelling narrative. It is just a ridiculously beautiful book. We live in times when it's very easy to just feel unhappy and despairing. And I think that this is a book that brings back joy.”
