Why We Play: Unlocking Human Nature Through Games
What happens when we mistake the game for reality itself? In Reality Is Broken: How Games Explain Human Nature, Kelly Clancy takes readers on a fascinating journey through the history of play—from the ancient puzzles of Pythagoras to the neural networks of ChatGPT. This isn't just a book about board games or video games. Clancy explores how the logic of games shapes fields as diverse as military strategy, mammalian zoology, cognitive psychology, higher mathematics, and international relations theory.
Written in clear, accessible language, the book challenges us to reconsider our deepest instincts. Why do we compete? Why do we create rules? And what does our obsession with winning—or simply playing—reveal about who we are as a species? Clancy argues that the human passion for games is not a trivial pastime but a fundamental key to understanding our own nature. Whether you are a casual player, a strategist, or simply curious about the hidden structures of human behavior, this thought-provoking work will change how you see the games we play—and the reality we build around them.
