This week is a little different, and I've got to say perhaps one of the most interesting episodes we've ever done! We are joined by the multi-talented Dr Lyle Skains who uses her research knowledge of evolutionary biology and digital literature to show us how to really write a good movie! Highlights this week are: Liz geeking out with Lyle, will they go on holiday together? Ben misunderstanding publishing, will he ever get his cheese and wine? Thomas reliving his childhood years, when did he stop being so nihilistic If you're interested in watching CUBE you can follow the Amazon link below. Further reading links: Wondering what digital fiction looks like? Well try What football will look like in the future? and prepare to have your horizons expanded. If you're interested in the future of literature then have a look at Lyle's recent book. It discusses such subjects as: indie publishers, hybrid authors, and fanfiction writers. Lyle's also written plenty of digital fiction. Again, this is reading, but not as we know it. If you're lazy and got be bothered to read then why not try Lyle's podcast Wonderbox publishing. If you've seen CUBE, when not try CUBE ZERO and CUBE 2: Hypercube. They are equally as bonkers! The geocities CUBE website that actually investigated the mathematics more than we did!
