You can PREORDER my book about the Assassin's Creed franchise NOW! Please do that. I think it is both a fun and interesting dive into what Assassin's Creed is, how it develops its ideas, and what it says about the world we live in. TOC attached, preorder at the link! bookshop.org/p/books/ever...

Why do we bash 'deathtrap' fortresses full of swinging blades, man-serpents, and giant rolling balls; but we never question if the chosen hero simply had bad vibes? Or is just unpleasant to be around?

going to the SportClips midday is just an experience in listening to men attempt small talk with women who do small talk professionally and I think you can index a lot of modern culture in this zone. anyone done an anthropology book on this yet?

I’m been failing to write the new James Bond for years. The producers keep getting mad at me for doing my job. I’ve written dozens of pages about the exact way he blew up in that last one— gore trajectories, flesh burn rate, etc. They’re never happy, so I just start over with different math.
