So I picked up this book about games, and…Engaging. The vibe is relaxed but still makes you think. Honestly, I’d bring this on a weekend trip. The writer doesn’t overdo it—just solid points and good flow. It’s one of those reads you can chill with. Nice little break from heavier stuff.

Seriously, this book made my day. Especially since it focused on simulation. Refreshing. It somehow made me laugh and think at the same time. Definitely recommending this to a few people already.
