His Master's Voice by Stanislaw Lem is equal parts #scifi mystery and academic satire. I loved it for all the reasons some people find it unsatisfying.

Remember those commodity trading games you played as a kid? Yeah, this is the same idea in a web game. Buy and sell spices and build your empire, trying not to get robbed as you travel from city to city.

Winning the Fields Medal is a dream for many mathematicians. Actually achieving it can be nerve-wracking.

Spice Hustle is a #reactjs web game based on the old-school mercantile games I remember growing up. Rack up a small fortune in an afternoon trading fake ginger around a region with towns named after cats my wife and I have had.

Germany's wild boar population is still, decades later, so irradiated from cold war era nuclear tests that they are not edible. Not that I'm eager to eat a wild boar, mind you.
