Book Tour Q: Psychedelics? So interesting? Me: "Imagine you were conscious 24/7 and a drug knocked you out, paralyzed your body, made you hallucinate all funhouse and it helps memory, clears your cell waste, prolongs your life. It's called 'sleep', not your little salvia plant."

I will be joining Patrick House (@patrick__house) on stage at the Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry on 23rd October. Patrick, a neuroscientist and writer, is known for his work on free will and consciousness. After our discussion, there will be a Q&A session. I look forward to what promises to be an engaging evening, and I hope to see you there.

The neuroscientist Patrick House is a brilliant writer and thinker, and his tribute here to @Mobius_Games' Outer Wilds sits alongside those of @RonanFarrow and @joshscherr as a perfect encapsulation of what makes this piece of work so special:
