Wonderland: How Play Made the Modern World by Steven Johnson
434LynnB
>432 ghr4:, thanks. BTW, I've read Wonderland: How Play Made the Modern World. Steven Johnson provides a different, intriguing perspective on the history of innovation and invention. He turns the common phrase "necessity is the mother of invention" on its head and shows how much of human progress stems from our quest for the novel and interesting....not necessarily the needed. The book broadened my perspective of history.

>434 LynnB: Yes, fascinating book! Great insights and observations in support of his premise that recreation and play have been the driving forces for invention and discovery. An adept storyteller, he weaves together engaging and surprising threads to prove the premise. The colorful text and rich illustrations make for a remarkably visual experience, somewhat like an absorbing PBS documentary. (BTW, read March 2017)
