With LEVIATHAN, I wanted to introduce children to some of the ideas of Thomas Hobbes. His philosphy always appealed to me because it was rigorous, mathematical and even had a little "game theory" flavor to it. Once encountered, the ideas in his writings are hard to forget. https://t.co/CIeJOZvBtv

Yay! 5 star review for LEVIATHAN from Common Sense Media. "Creator Jason Shiga has designed something original in Adventuregame Comics: Leviathan -- something game players and puzzle solvers will take to immediately." https://t.co/pKi7dVGbWS

@mrsambarlow I remember there was an Isaac Asimov short story where he pointed out that you don’t want to instantly teleport 6 months into the past or else you’ll end up on the other side of the sun.
