Nicky Case's portfolio of explorable essays — interactive simulations and games that teach game theory, network effects, cognitive bias, and mental health through systems you can play with and break.

Why it is useful

The best examples of interactive storytelling for explaining complex systems on the web. 'The Evolution of Trust' teaches game theory through a playable simulation; 'Parable of the Polygons' shows how mild individual bias creates extreme segregation. Each piece takes 15–30 minutes and teaches something that would take hours in a textbook. All are free, open source, and unlike anything else.
