The Object Lessons book series, of which this excerpt is part, is stunning. It's edited by Ian Bogost (a philosopher and video game designer, of Cow Clicker, "Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism", and pressure washer[1] fame), and every single volume is delightful. Highly recommended!
My favorites are "Cigarette Lighter" and "Dust", but most everyone will find one that resonates most with them. People on Hacker News are likely to enjoy "Password", released today!

- someone7x 10y agoI listened to an ITunes U course about game design and one of the speakers used the word "Bogostian" and ever since then I've adopted it. The things he chooses to work on all seem "Bogostian" to me now and this is no exception.
