Gareth Branwyn, my old friend and the senior editor of the bOING bOING zine, has a Kickstarter going for a book of his collected writings, called Borg Like Me. One of the things I love about Gareth is that he has many interests, and is able to write about them in a way that makes them exciting and accessible. I've learned a great deal about writing (and design, and life in general) from Gareth. I can't wait for this book!
Enjoy this 25-page sampler from Borg Like Me.
