For those of us who can’t get enough action and adventure, a video game version of Thoreau’s Walden Woods is now under development. A large grant from the National Endowment for the Arts is funding the project. The game will center around the natural beauty of the area as taken from Thoreau’s notes while he lived in a cabin away from society. The Guardian has the story.
There’s some irony in seeing a game about the writings of a notorious anarchist being funded by a government grant.
