As Will Wright (co-creator of SimCity 2000 and SimCopter) states in his foreword, "Raph forages across wide intellectual landscapes and then returns to share what he’s discovered with the rest of us…. He has filtered out a treasure trove of useful and relevant nuggets from a career’s worth of his own research."
