“Beauty is terror.”
A sentence that feels like a key to the whole book. The atmosphere keeps changing shape, beautiful one moment and unsettling the next.
The tenderness of making.
Friendship, ambition, and the strange intimacy of building something together. A book about games that is really about time.
