Women in Science Fiction

Playful Thinking

----------------

Playful Thinking is a series of short, readable and argumentative books that share some playfulness and excitement with the games that they are about. The basic assumption is simple: video games are such a flourishing medium that any new perspective on them is likely to show us something unseen or forgotten, including those from such “unconventional” voices as artists, philosophers, or specialists in other industries or fields of study.

**Series editor:** Jesper Juul, Geoffrey Long, William Uricchio, and Mia Consalvo

[_The Well-Read Game: On Playing Thoughtfully_](https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262552233/the-well-read-game/) by Tracy Fullerton and Matthew Farber explores the experiences we have when we play games: not the outcomes of play or the aesthetics of formal game structures but the ephemeral and emotional experiences of being in play.
