Unit Operations on 50 Books for Everyone
October 16, 2006 - by Ian Bogost

Ernest Adams, Game design consultant and co-author of the just-released textbook Fundamentals of Game Design, has written a list of 50 Books for Everyone in the Game Industry. I was honored to see that my book Unit Operations made the list, along with a number of other academic books on games, including Jesper Juul's Half-Real and Janet Murray's Hamlet on the Holodeck. Egoblogging aside, this is a really great list, check it out.
