The game Civilization has always had a special place in my heart. It was gifted to me by my great-grandparents when I was a wee one. They were amazing people in my life, and I will always remember them fondly. Funny enough, some of the names in this book coincided with their family tree, but no relation at all. NONE. My grandpa's name was Bruce, but he was not one of the first Bruces to have played the game. But I thought it was funny as a coincidence while I was reading this book. I found this book a very fascinating read and inspiring.

I am glad I stumbled upon this book in searching for something for one of my reading challenges.

One of my favorite quotes from it was

"We should not fear the things that enthrall us, but instead acknowledge our responsibility to harness them as a tool and determine what good can be determined with them."
