Modern Art is an auction game where players act as art collectors, buying and selling paintings by five different artists. The value of each artist's work fluctuates based on the frequency with which their paintings appear in auctions. Players aim to collect the most valuable art pieces and accumulate wealth by strategically participating in various types of auctions. The game combines elements of speculation, bluffing, and economic forecasting as players try to outwit their opponents in the dynamic art market. With its simple rules and engaging player interaction, Modern Art offers a compelling experience that captures the essence of the art world.
This book provides a comprehensive and riveting history of the Challenger disaster, which occurred on January 28, 1986. Higginbotham delves into the years leading up to the accident, detailing the ambitions, ingenuity, and political cynicism that undermined the space shuttle program. The narrative follows the seven members of the doomed crew and the designers, engineers, and test pilots who struggled to get the first shuttle into space. It highlights the ominous warning signs ignored by NASA, the investigation driven by leakers and whistleblowers, and the broader context of the space race and its impact on the NASA space program. The book is a masterful blend of human drama and scientific detail, exposing the complex costs of innovation and the fatal compromises made in the pursuit of national prestige.
