Two new books arrived today - The Case for Make Believe (Susan Linn), and Generation Digital: Politics, Commerce, and Childhood in the Age of the Internet (Kathryn C. Montgomery).
I'm really looking forward to reading these and trying to bridge the distance between "play" in the traditional/child development sense of the word, and "play" as in video games, social networking, and other online fun.
(or is it "fun" ?)
