The Hustle Economy

just felt like sharing, I've been wondering about this (transforming your creativity into a career).

Any new books (or old) you feel like sharing?

Here is a similar thread that died rather quickly, I still recommend reading through it though: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=79616
PM me on here or elsewhere if you'd like to discuss porting your game to Nintendo Switch via mazette!

I'm sure many have read (or at least heard of) it, but for those who haven't:
Godel,_Escher,_Bach_(first_edition).jpg

I read this once when I was too young to really get it (but still enjoyed it), and again more recently. Can't recommend it enough; entertaining and thought-provoking.

GEB! Yes!
My mother used to read me and my sister the fugue parts when we were younger and I later read it in german and english, what a great book IMO.

are you asking whether GEB is a scifi book or whether you should give a scifi recommendation? GEB is not, and if I were to recommend something it would be the classic Neuromancer :)
