It's not often that a non-fiction book is a page turner, but this one was. I enjoyed reading all the examples. Both of games and of how to gamify life. I was surprised at the useful games like worldwithoutoil.org. There are a lot of footnotes/references to read more online - which I did. I liked the reference to Outlier's 10K hours of practice. Students graduating now have 10K hours of collaboration. I learned about NYC Quest to Learn - a charter school using game mechanics/language for learning. When I read about flow/fiero, I immediately thought about being in the zone when coding. A great book!
