The Creative Gene: How books, movies, and music inspired the creator of Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid Hardcover – October 19, 2021

Arrived on time. Perfect condition. Book is a great read if your a fan of Hideo Kojima

This is a collection of his blog posts but translated to English. It is called the creative gene and rightfully so, since each and every story review has helped inspire him in his stories and writing of his games.If you’re interested in learning more about his inspiration throughout his years alive (most of these reviews were based on books read when he was a kid) this is the book to get.PS: I don’t know if his blog is online or has ever been online, but each essay was published years before, it is dated in each one, and I based it on that. I don’t know if the prologue in the beginning explained that since I forgot what he wrote to be fair haha.

I'm a mgs fan so i got this book. Honestly its more of a Kojima reviews other books,kinda book. I really wish it went into more detail on what specifically was inspired.

Hideo Kojima is a Digitized entity created by the Patriots (La Lu Le Li Lo) in order to nurture a new breed of human people. In The Creative Gene, you’ll witness the extent of this advancements as the complex entity showcases what it means (or at least what it has compiled statistically and now believes) to be human, creativity.As a fleshy being interpreting this language, you’ll experience Hideo Kojima display a previously terran trait: creation of socially conscious art. This latest version of Kojima is able to aggregate life-like observations and epiphanysIf you’re a fan of the patriot system controlling the vast majority of your so-called free will and human condition, you will likely submit to Hideo’s debut novelization of it’s mainframe “conciousness”.

I thought I bought this as a brand new book but when it arrived the cover had some strange black grease on it so I had to clean it. It turned out ok once I cleaned it and it made a good gift but kinda confused by how dirty it was upon arrival. Two stars off for that.

It's very rare creative powerhouse is willing to write a book about his influences. for 15 bucks to peek into the mind of Kojima is a damn good deal. Great read and lomng live Kojima-San !

If you're a fan of Hideo Kojima, this book is essential. As a collection of his personal and professional essays, it gives a lot of insight his thought processes. It also shows how different stories across media formats and national boundaries shaped him as a creative. It's given me a lot of "to read" and "to watch" titles.

Just an incredible read. He’s an auteur whose bizarre creations — the Metal Gear Solid series and, most recently, Death Stranding — have become huge blockbusters. Why do gamers find them so captivating? Hideo Kojima has been called one of the most creative people in the video game industry, but what makes him so creative? How does he develop such novel ideas? What influenced him? How does his lifestyle support his creativity?Dive inside the legend’s mind and learn about his creative process.

Ótima leitura para fãs do diretor.

El libro es corto, parece una colección de ensayos que nos llevan de la mano a momentos en la vida de Hideo. Literal, nos da reseñas de libros que lo marcaron y como ha basado sus creaciones en cosas o detalles que le gustaron. Es un libro que te hace viajar en el tiempo en muchas ocasiones y sentir la chispa creativa que iluminó a Kojima y que lo sigue haciendo. El mensaje es que hay que leer y ver películas; para el autor, toda experiencia es buena y todo lo que vemos y aprendemos nos nutre. Todo es parte de la esencia de los autores y es una manera de compartirnos su vida.Para los fans de este creativo, es un must. LaLiLuLeLo

Excelente libro

A construção em capa dura é excelente. Qualidade dos materiais e do envio Amazon foram certas.Ainda não terminei o livro, mas já foi em torno de 20% e folheando o estilo, não parece mudar.Esperava algo mais focado no processo criativo e de trabalho do Kojima, mas é uma coletânea de avaliação de certas obras e histórias e a relação delas com a vida dele e seus trabalhos. Excelente para quem busca sugestões de mundos fantásticos ou como as obras que ele consumiu ajudaram ele se tornar quem é.
