“Dan is an excellent copywriter. He is able to quickly understand nuanced topics, complex context and translate that into compelling verbiage. Dan is able to take in materials and information from different sources to pull them all together in creative and interesting ways. Dan has a shrewd sense of where there are gaps in the logic that the audience will notice, and helps raise poignant questions for stakeholders; which end up making the work more coherent and convincing. He's also able to operate with some questions unanswered, speaking at a high level and diving into details when those are available. Overall, Dan has an excellent sense of working towards goals, deadlines, and briefs - and ensures his words help accomplish the goals. He's a reliable part of the team willing to be part of something larger, give direction, and incorporate feedback and changes as they come in.”

Thanks to their interactive nature, video games can be especially effective ways to explore these ideas.
Each chapter of this book introduces a philosophical topic through discussion of relevant video games, with interviews with game creators and expert philosophers.Other authorsSee publication -
