As a big Dead Space fan I had to pick this up! Excited to learn more about these games, and from having a quick flick through it looks like it's gonna be an awesome book!

In the book, my essay โ€œThe False Evolution of Execution Methodsโ€ will be accompanied by a new essay by Lyle May. May interrogates capital punishment from his singular perspective; he has been incarcerated on North Carolinaโ€™s death row for over twenty years.

One of the bits of the new book I'm most excited about is the afterword for "The Shape of Infinity" -- because it's a full, 10-page visual short story by artist Richard Blake.

I'm aiming to have at least a dozen times in the book that you turn a page and go "oh holy shit"

Hey, we're working on a new book: You're Not Overthinking It by Jacob Geller! This is Lost in Cult's first real sequel project, outside of [lock-on], so I'm very excited to get to work on this and produce a lovely second instalment - both books next to one another, as a pair, is gonna look sick ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Harper Collins are publishing a new Retail Edition of @jacobgeller.com's "How A Game Lives" in November (you can pre-order now on most book sites). Happy we can offer such an edition, as it should be much more accessible/cheaper & widely/globally available - walk into a shop/pick-up on Amazon etc.!

And when all the good work is gone... all the humans are OUT, it will be because despite everyone saying they cared -- about art, creativity & human beings -- they never turned up in actuality. They didn't read. They didn't comment. They NEVER paid. They only bothered screaming when it was all gone.

That's games media for you. You spend years doing your best work -- months on a great investigative piece, or writing the most insightful criticism, to zero credit or recognition -- then one slip and sudenly everyone's so interested. You never get a 1000 *passionate* comments on the good stuff!

Just a thought, but I reckon if AI subsumes the writing of video game articles in the way we all fear, it may have something to do with the torrents of undeserved abuse we spent years subjecting all of our HUMAN writers to. We end up getting the industry we deserve...
