Brief book report: BUILDING SIM CITY: How to Put the World in a Machine, by Chaim Gingold, is an exhilarating read. It is one of the best origin stories ever told and the best account I've seen of how innovation actually occurs in computerdom. 🧵

How did Cold War nuclear game theory developed at MIT in the 1950s and 1960s ultimately transform video games in the 1980s and 1990s? It’s the story of SimCity, inspired by 📖 “Building SimCity: How to Put the World in a Machine” 🧵

In 1989, a Nintendo bigwig licensed SimCity on the spot by sliding a million dollar check across the table. trib.al/GymE28z

I thought it would be fun to turn the tables and give Will Wright a chance to interview someone else: me (!), about Building SimCity.☺️
