So my Audio narration of @kimnordstrom.bsky.social awesome book Up Down Up looking at why games companies succeed and fail is now out. It’s very exciting, but really painful for me to listen to!

So I always loved Orwell, and 1984 is a book I read to one of my kids as a bedtime story. But i really enjoyed this, from the point of view of Julia, does allow the story to become more gender nuanced. If you read it, talk to me about the ending (no spoilers)!
