About this author

Andy Gavin is an unstoppable storyteller who studied for his Ph.D. at M.I.T. and founded video game developer Naughty Dog, Inc. at the age of fifteen, serving as co-president for two decades.

He sleeps little, reads novels and histories, watches media obsessively, travels, and of course, writes.
