Professor Mark JP Wolf from Concordia University Wisconsin in Mequon takes us on a historical journey, discussing significant aspects and precedents of the practice of worldbuilding, from the ancient Egyptians to JRR Tolkien and George Lucas. He demonstrates that worldbuilding is a deep part of the rich history of human culture, and key to humanity's imagination.
