You’ve finished Endgame and Cynthia has handed in her notice. Surely, we can’t have reached the end? Fear not, dear reader. Faithcorp may be no more and trips into boxland gone forever, but I can offer you something better.

I present The Making of Endgame. Featuring the story of how Endgame came to be written,  a World Council report into the shocking demise of Faithcorp, deleted scenes and much, much more; this is a collection that the discerning connoisseur cannot do without.

Find out what inspired the story. Discover how did it evolve from a short story into a future noir novel. Learn what it says about a famous 17th century philosophical thought experiment. Find out the answers to this – and much more – from the author himself in The Making of Endgame.

Contents

  1. The Story of Endgame
  2. A Guide to the Fictional World
  3. Deleted Scenes
  4. The Philosophy of Endgame
  5. Essays

Part 1 tells the story of Endgame itself: how I came to write it, what inspired me and what I aimed to do with the novel.

Part 2 contains an investigation into the mysterious events of the late 23rd century by Dr Wilhelm Zwölfbaum on behalf of the reconstituted World Council two centuries later.

Part 3 consists of deleted scenes from the writing of Endgame, including the original 2009 ending.

Part 4 is a guide to the philosophical ideas behind Endgame, from Ancient Greece to modern-day Europe by way of a famous 17th century thought experiment.

Part 5 is an essay on the philosophical question of how we are able to communicate ideas so that the parties involved are both thinking the same thing, despite being unable to see what lies in each other’s minds.
