New Humble Bundle is up, and it's for:
Humble Book Bundle Fandom & Philosophy presented by Wiley Blackwell with an interesting mix of pop culture phenomena exploration for Exactly What It Says In The Title, with meta non-fiction looking into the themes and reasoning underlying mostly sfnal and big comics franchises like Star Trek and Watchmen, but also games like Dungeons & Dragons and Bioshock, and rock bands including Metallica and Black Sabbath.
Fixed tiers of $1, $8, and $15 (no new titles added next week).
Quote:
Bundling and philosophy. Do you often find yourself lost in thought, pondering the philosophical undercurrents of Game of Thrones, Battlestar Galactica, or BioShock? If not, did you at least start to ponder them when you read that last sentence? This book bundle, oh thoughtful fan, is for you.
