There’s nice.

Can we learn about dualism, free will and cognition by playing Bioshock or Call of Duty? Yes, according to Dan Griliopoulos and Guardian games contributor Jordan Erica Webber, who take us on a fascinating trip through the philosophical canon, showing how games illustrate key existential questions.

Humbled (and shocked, honestly) that our philosophy/games book is listed on the Guardian alongside Le Guin, Stephenson, Bissell, Schreier et al! (It was written with the awesome Jordan Erica Webber back in 2017.)

If you do read anything from the list, read Le Guin – her Earthsea & The Dispossessed, they’re wonderful.

Our book’s here, FWIW.

There are few harder things in life than introducing yourself, especially in print where mellifluous nuance can turn to indulgent wankery. So. I am definitely a 'writer'. You could also call me an 'artist'. I could probably put the words 'designer' and 'consultant' here too, but they feel crass.
