Newitz built a tripartite story, spread across millennia, and it's very good (as expected for previous readers).

Still, great book, but I want to know what else happened!

This collection of essays is a good view of the current state of professional wargaming, specifically within the context of military and political education. It's not for everyone, but for those in the biz, it's a very interesting read.
In this exhilarating novel, two friends--often in love, but never lovers--come together as creative partners …
This is a very good book about relationships of all kinds - familial, romantic, friendly - and the relationships that are harder to define in a single word. Sure, it's also about video game design, narrative structure, being empathetic and kind, and a little love letter to Southern California. It feels like the 1990s, and also timeless. Zevin writes wonderfully about gender, race, age, and all the ups and downs of those definitions across generations.
Very highly recommended, for people who like people.

Just reading in between running combat simulations, so it's taking a while.
