It’s an episode chock full of twists and turns with an incredible ending you won’t see coming. Unless you’ve listened before. We end with the email address. But HOW do we get there? Well for one, we talk about video games as storytelling. For another we kick off Ready Player One and Reamde as our new books. And finally….. well that would be a spoiler.

Hey Veronica and Tom,
The reason I’m writing is because after 2 years, I finished my 3rd book, first fiction, a novella titled Trapped in My Zombie Body. The cover is being designed now, and I will have it going out digitally in mid-October, paperback in November. Moreover, I’m donating 50% of royalties to Child’s Play Charity.
Synopsis:
Imagine your body no longer listened to you. You were trapped, experiencing the world in a new way: without any control over your actions. It’s a world filled with sleep deprivation, mind games, and unthinkable acts. Welcome to my world.
By the way, I publish under my legal first name, Mario, rather than my nickname, Andy, just FYI. I look forward to hearing from you guys!
Cheers,
Mario Lurig, aka Andy in Colorado

I know. I really didn’t need to add *another* show, but this one is short. It’s called “Tech History Today” and it gives you, in a less than a minute, three interesting things from tech history that happened on this day in the past. I wanted to add the future but the whole time’s arrow thing proved too much. It’s only a minute, and it will make you appear so much smarter at cocktail parties, so why not subscribe?

They just dropped the price of the BlackBerry PlayBook to $299. The Amazon Kindle Fire is the same hardware. So who is the PlayBook good for?
