Simply Complex Podcast #2

May 16, 2017

Well, I didn’t have time to talk about this properly, but I was proud to be again a guest at the one and only Marcello Sgambelluri’s Simply Complex Podcast. You can listen to it here.

What did we talk about? Well, for starters there was a lot about BILT asia: I was honoured to be a speaker, along with my BIM Manager of course, and I already wrote up something about it here.

Then, since it was the gaming channel, we also talked about the Logan movie and Mass Effect Andromeda. I’ve been playing that a lot, but I’ll write something up only when I’m finished with it.

We also talked a bit about my BIM book, since it has a “gamified” part. Something about it (in Italian, as the book), is here.

As you might have guessed I’m super busy, though I can’t tell you with what. Yet.

The Murderbot Diaries: Rogue Protocol + Exit Strategy

I’m not crying: a piece of some murdering bot must have gotten in my eye. Rogue Protocol is the third novella in the Murderbot Diaries, and deals with the titular character going deep undercover to figure out what happened in the “mining incident” that was
