It's publication day for 'A BETTER PARADISE Volume 1: An Aftermath'! Out today from @AbsurdVentures, the debut novel from legendary writer and creative director of the RED DEAD REDEMPTION and GRAND THEFT AUTO series Dan Houser tells the story of an ambitious but addictive video game project that goes very wrong.

Ernest Cline, author of 'Ready Player One' calls it "A harrowing techno-futurist fever dream of justifiably paranoid creators being hunted down by their own creation. A game-dev's worst nightmare, imagined by one of the best writers ever to work in the gaming industry. “Frankenstein” meets “Free Guy”... if both were on a really bad acid trip."

Love this witty and provocative piece by Kev Nixon on the Oasis comeback in the London Standard!

[Midas @midascampaigns]

Go and check out this fantastic piece from Kev Nixon on the myth of the working class musician and what Oasis' comeback tells us about a failing music industry. Brilliant Sounding Rubbish, out this August is part memoir, part deep dive into what's going wrong in the industry. https://t.co/IFtJIXINss
