In the hustle and bustle of modern life, do you ever wish you could make like Henry David Thoreau and just retreat to a cabin on a pond?
Well, USC's Game Innovation Lab has made that possible ... somewhat.
In honor of Thoreau’s two hundredth birthday this year, a team turned Walden into a video game.
NPR’s Jason Sheehan tried his hand at Walden, A Game, in which one spends eight season as Thoreau — building a cabin, clearing your fields, spending a night in jail for not paying taxes, borrowing books from Ralph Waldo Emerson, etc.
Read his whole report on this unexpected video game here.
