It took a year for Rockstar’s acclaimed game to hit Microsoft’s Xbox, but the wait was worth it. There’s an excessiveness and playfulness to San Andreas, which simply doesn’t exist in the later games and it created a void on consoles that was later filled by the Saints Row series...

The book focuses a lot of attention on the role of women in the space program, both their importance as “computers” (I knew from reading Hidden Figures that human “computers” did the math calculations before computers developed to the point that they could be relied on) and the ...
