If this kind of thing tickles your fancy and you haven't yet read Sapiens, I'd certainly recommend checking it out. Your local library almost certainly has a copy.

Asides, this is the original poem he modifies in the video:
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert... near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
---Ozymandias, by Percy Shelley

New Exurb1a? Yes please. I've always loved his channel. I was wondering - has anyone read any of his novels? I've been meaning to check them out but have never gotten around to it.

I read The Bridge to Lucy Dunne about a year ago and I really enjoyed it. It's a collection of short stories, so I don't know how well he does in long-form, but I've heard pretty good things about...

Really though, if you enjoy his content and how he presents it then you'll likely enjoy his writing as well. If you weren't already aware, he narrated one of his short stories from Fifth Science and released it on his other channel a few weeks ago. So you can check that out for a little taste of what he can do.
