A few weeks ago James McAvoy shared some advice given to him by Claudia Black about science-fiction.

It's bonkers and needs to be believed more than good writing.

Word of this has circulated back to Claudia and she has responded at length. She remarks that it might be her longest twitter thread ever.

Title sums up the story succinctly.

That said, most people are probably aware of cryptocurrencies but possibly not NFTs (non-fungible tokens).

They're a cousin of cryptocurrencies but instead of being a unit of currency, each represents an individual asset - which may be real or digital.

Announced last year by fledgling Polish development studio Starward Industries, PC game The Invincible now has its first teaser trailer.
