<p>On this weeks Book(ish) I sit down with game development company Samurai Punk founder Nick McDonnell to talk Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges. Our conversation ranges over the differences between game development and tech, building worlds to escape into, and learning world history in the most delicious way possible.
