El libro emblemático de uno de los autores peruanos más reconocidos. Una novela de no ficción valiente sobre la compleja relación entre padre e hijo. «Es un libro impresionante y haberlo escrito, además de talento, demuestra gran coraje.» Mario Vargas LlosaMediante los mecanismos de la ficción y la memoria, Renato Cisneros reconstruye la vida pública y privada de su padre, el controvertido general peruano Luis Federico Cisneros Vizquerra, más conocido como «el Gaucho», un general de división nacido en Argentina que fue un polémico ministro de Interior y de Guerra en Perú. Los hallazgos de este libro no solo alumbran los rincones oscuros de la vida familiar y ponen en duda el relato público de uno de los actores clave de la política peruana del siglo XX, sino que cuestionan las motivaciones del narrador y su recompensa: un ansiado sosiego que la literatura promete, pero no necesariamente otorga. Seis años después de su aparición, La distancia que nos separa confirma su valor como artefacto de exploración emocional y documento político privado. Los secretos descubiertos tras la muerte de su padre, la dimensión pública de este y la propia experiencia del autor como hijo forjan este relato autobiográfico valiente, sin contemplaciones y al tiempo cautivador y sincero de la relación entre un padre y un hijo. Porque toda paternidad esconde una grieta en su interior. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The emblematic book by one of the most recognized Peruvian authors. A gritty non-fiction novel about the complex relationship between father and son."It's an impressive book and to have written it, in addition to talent, shows great courage." Mario Vargas Llosa. Through the mechanisms of fiction and memory, Renato Cisneros reconstructs the public and private life of his father, the controversial Peruvian general Luis Federico Cisneros Vizquerra, better known as "el Gaucho," a general major born in Argentina who was a contentious Minister of the Interior and War in Peru. The findings in this book not only illuminate the dark corners of family life and cast doubt on the public account of one of the key actors in 20th-century Peruvian politics, but also question the narrator's motivations and reward: a long-awaited peace of mind that literature promises, but doesn't necessarily deliver. Six years after its appearance, The Distance Between Us confirms its value as an artifact of emotional exploration and a private political document. The secrets uncovered after the death of his father, his public dimension and the author's own experience as a son shape this brave, unceremonious, yet captivating and sincere autobiographical account of the relationship between a father and a son. Because all parenthood hides a crack inside.

From the creator of the Godot Recipes site!
Format: Paperback
Absolutely loved this, takes you through building 5 different games from start to finish, and explains not only how to do things, but it also explains the why! Throughout the course of making these 5 games, you also get introduced to many of the Nodes within Godot, explanations on how they are used, and gives you some experience using them! Feels good to add more tools into your toolkit as you become more familiar and comfortable using more Nodes.
Even though this book is not intended for beginners, I would still recommend this book. It comes with a link where you can download example files and get going with minimal effort, however to get the most out of the book I would try to recreate stuff yourself.
I found it very useful for easing myself into trying out 3D development. I've been doing 2D for years, and am currently developing a 2D game in Godot, once I complete that I'll be diving headfirst into 3D and this book gave me a lot of insight, and I feel much better about the whole process.

would have been better as a blog
Format: Paperback
First off, I have read over half of this book, but ultimately decided to put it down because it had a low signal-to-noise ratio. If the second half is filled with magic, I apologize in advance.
What I liked:
* The author is very honest. He does not shy away from discussing his failures (and successes).
* The postmortem on the game "Life of Pixel" was especially good.
* Interviews from various indie studios are sprinkled throughout.
What I did not like:
* A number of pieces of information were already out-of-date. This makes me think that the concepts should have been discussed at a higher level. For example, specifics about game engine costs are discussed. These numbers have changed since E3 of this year. Definitely recheck any information before formulating a plan based on the book's recommendations.
* The indie studio interviews are a wasted opportunity in that they each interview has the same set of questions. It's like a questionnaire was sent out via email and the responses were pasted into the book.
* When discussing commercial options, such as engines or other software packages, blurbs once again appear to be cut-and-pasted (this time verbatim from the package's web site).
* Some of the advice is too broad and too light. For example, when writing about how to create a press release, the author discuss how to write in the active voice. I'm frankly not looking for writing tips in my Indie Game Developer Handbook.
* The book is filled with tons of web links. My paperback copy was not so useful here.
I ultimately left the book with the impression that the information would have been much better in the form of a blog. The author could have really gone in depth with the parts of the book that shined while keeping the surveys of topics in a form that serves them better (i.e. web links on the web).

Helpful information and Questions to consider
Format: Paperback
As a writer of science fiction and fantasy I had already looked into the physical aspects of the worlds I was creating, but I quickly realized I needed to include society and culture in the worldbuilding. I started a search for information, questionairres, or guidelines to use and found very little that would be helpful to me as a writer. Until I came across this book. It's exactly what I needed. It touches on multiple aspects of beliefs and practices and asks questions to help you think through what you want for your worlds, even if it's mostly backgroud. A very useful tool.
