»Swedish Machines« – The new book by Simon Stålenhag is now available on Kickstarter

Stålenhag’s most personal work yet, Swedish Machines explores masculinity, friendship, and sexuality in a queer science fiction tale about two young men stuck in the past – and in each other’s orbit. Their story spans decades, as fleeting moments become defining memories, and they set out to explore a mysterious forbidden zone together.

I got all of his other books and naturally just backed it immediately.

Author Clock

The clock that tells time through literary quotes with a new hand-picked passage each minute of the day. Author Clock has a library of over 13,000 literary quotes spanning seven centuries and six continents. Each story snippet references the time at that very moment.

Schöne Idee. In zwei Größen ab 199 US-Dollar erhältlich (und damit leider etwas teuer für ein Wifi-verbundenes E-Ink-Display).

Make Something Wonderful

Ok, somehow I managed to get a copy of „Make Something Wonderful“ by The Steve Jobs Archive, which is currently going for $200-500 on eBay, for 86 Euros. 🥳

If you didn’t take a look already, here’s the wonderful digital version of the book, which is not available in stores, but was only given to selected Apple and Pixar employees. And here’s a detailed look by Arun Venkatesan at the physical and digital book.

Cool to have this at home now.
