For years, escape rooms have been one of the most popular formats in corporate team building. Colleagues step into a themed environment, the clock begins to count down, and a group of professionals suddenly becomes a band of codebreakers, detectives, or adventurers racing toward a single objective: get out before time runs out. It is engaging, energetic and — at least on the surface — collaborative. People laugh, improvise, make mistakes, and celebrate the final sprint toward

And we arrived at a conclusion as simple as it is impertinent: As long as humans exist, the person, organic or synthetic, wi

Recently, I read with great pleasure Simon J. Cook’s essay “ How to Do Things with Words: Tolkien’s Theory of Fantasy in Practice. ” It’s a piece that, in my view, sheds new light on one of the most fascinating aspects of Tolkien’s thought: his conviction that language is not a mere vehicle of communication, but an act of creation, even incarnation.
