1. successful communication requires empathy.
2. improv can help you learn empathy, and in turn become better communicator.

His message needs only two sentences, or maybe a paragraph, not a whole book. Too redundant. Unnecessary examples to convey a very simple idea. Ionically this book is an example of bad communication!

This first book of the Gameworld trilogy is, hopefully, the beginning of a little revolution in the SFF genre. It is the first (english) fantasy book that draws inspirations and hilarious references from the tremendous riches of Indian mythology, which had thus far been left untapped as most writers (and probably readers) of SFF hail from western countries.
Most SFF books rely in some way on the Bible or from Greek & Roman mythologies for references and tropes. But beyond the novel source of inspirations, Samit Basu weaves a fascinating tale, complex, filled with suspense, surprising twists and is full of witty (yet self-aware) references to everything from the Ramayana and Mahabharata to Alice in Wonderland, and from Tolkien to Top Gun and Monty Python. And he does it without effort and without breaking the the flow of the book, as if all of SFF before was a seamless real part of the Gameworld universe.
The book starts a little slow, but picks up pace quickly. Readers unfamiliar with Indian mythology may miss some jokes, but will find plenty to laugh out loud about and to be absolutely fascinated with.
