a lot of people just think that way, talking to them is this excruciating process of trying to respond to something they have said as they veer off into another direction. The only answer is to completly control the conversation such that they follow you and their chaotic minds are tied to something stable.

How Google Works ain't a tell-all, but a close look into the operation written by the former CEO and the VP of Product Dev - it was a seriously good read. They give an idea of the type of person capable of working at G, and have no qualms abot saying that most of us are P-wave zombies

Wow, the conversational tone and casualness of this makes me taste copper under my tongue.

It's sad that any talentless dingus who has any sort of status in society can write a crap book as if it were a series of text messages to your friend or tweets and have it not only be published, but praised and sold.

You can't even blame women in the publishing industry on this one. They don't care for videogames.

I think the publishing agent saw that he worked on fortnite and saw dollar signs. I'm glad this guy is posting excerpts from his work though since this will make what the ghostwriter/editor did really obvious.

>> No.11789431

>>11789362
Yeah, the sheer kikery of agents and publishing houses can't be overstated. For those who don't know, fiction by a new author needs a complete manuscript (which won't even be read 99% of the time) to even be considered by agents. Nonfiction only requires a proposal, making it much easier for shit like this to get greenlit. And if you can't get an agent your odds of being published these days are virtually nonexistent.
