{"product_id":"9781068765728","title":"WORLDING : A Guide for Creators in Changing Times","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is a World? How do I create one? How do I keep it alive? And when should I set it free?There is a new art emerging, ripe for our strange and complex times: Worlding – the practice of creating dynamic systems that take on a life of their own.   Now in print for the first time, WORLDING is an essential handbook for artists, founders, parents, and creators of all kinds. Drawing on Cheng's experience as an artist building multi-agent simulations, the book offers practical methods for making worlds by channeling four creative personas inside every creator: the Director, Cartoonist, Hacker, and Emissary.   This edition gathers Cheng's original writings on Worlding, alongside a foreword by Venkatesh Rao and the Worlding Raga dialogues between the two.   Part psychological reflection, part creative guide, WORLDING explores ways to navigate darkness and sustain agency in a time of unraveling old realities and emerging weird ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdetails id=\"Details-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003csummary role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003ch2 class=\"h4 accordion__title inline-richtext\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProduct Information\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 0 0 .708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 0 0 0-.708\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/summary\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\" id=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Cheng\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDate of Publication:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePagination:\u003c\/b\u003e 166 pages\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e N\/A\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eImprint:\u003c\/b\u003e cosmogenesis\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublished By:\u003c\/b\u003e cosmogenesis\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBook Classification:\u003c\/b\u003e The arts: general issues\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 127 x 196 x 14\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eISBN13\/EAN\/SKU:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781068765728\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\u003c\/details\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ian Cheng","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57006423310722,"sku":"9781068765728","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/9781068765728.jpg?v=1793301369","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.com\/products\/9781068765728","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
