Hey Alan,
I believe you’re referring to “The Art of Failure” by Jesper Juul, no?

Want to point out that Terry Winograd has written on failure as basic - I
think that was in Understanding Computers and Cognition: A New Foundation
for Design (with Fernando Flores) Ablex Publ Corp. - and that he and
Maturana have worked on autopoesis extensively; there's also a book I have
(but not with me, forget the title) on failure in computer game playing,
which is fascinating.
